There are about 8563 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Sweden. The country of the clinical trial is determined by the location of where the clinical research is being studied. Most studies are often held in multiple locations & countries.
In the new guideline from ESAIC breast-feeding should be encouraged until 3 hours before anesthesia. This recommendation was based mainly on gastric emptying studies in neonates with small sample sizes and single center experience.To address the lack of high quality evidence for this recommendation, the ESAIC task force for preoperative fasting plans perform a multicenter RCT omparing 4 vs 3 hours of preoperative fasting for breast milk. The aim of the present pilot-study is to provide data for sample size calculation and feasibility for the multicenter trial.
The primary objective with this study is to investigate the feasibility and acceptability of ten weeks of internet delivered prolonged exposure delivered through a digital platform with therapist support. The secondary objective is to investigate preliminary effects of internet delivered prolonged exposure in terms of reducing symptoms of post-traumatic stress, depression and increase quality of life.
The overall aim of this pilot study is to investigate the effect, "feasibility" and experiences of regular massage over 12 months on the mental and physical health of healthcare professionals, as well as the frequency of layoffs, sick leave and reported patient safety risk cases, as well as health economics
This study is a sub-study of the master protocol 205801 (NCT03739710). This sub study has assessed the clinical activity of novel regimen (Feladilimab plus Docetaxel) with SOC (Docetaxel) in participants with NSCLC.
To evaluate the efficacy of arginase inhibition on endothelial function in humans with obesity.
Background: Many lifestyle-related health disorders are influenced by physical activity level and physical function. Health examinations which focus on musculoskeletal function of people who have risk factors for lifestyle-related disorders, combined with person-centered advice based on risk profiles can give people knowledge and guidance to manage their own lifestyle priorities. Aim: To investigate the feasibility of a protocol for a randomized controlled trial (RCT) which will examine the preventive effects of musculoskeletal function examinations and person-centered advice on inactive middle-aged people. Methods: Physically inactive middle-aged people will be invited to participate in a two-part health examination with follow-up after three months in a pilot study. Part 1 is a standard health examination including blood tests and Part 2 is a functional examination of fitness, strength, mobility, balance and posture according to our protocol based on validated tests. The intervention group receives feedback based on both parts of the examination while the control group receives feedback only from Part 1. Physical activity level will be measured objectively with accelerometers at inclusion and follow-up. Expected results: The pilot study is expected to show whether the planned RCT is practically feasible and to give relevant support for the power analysis for a later full-scale RCT. Better understanding of personal physical function and risk factors can facilitate lifestyle decisions on the individual level which can reduce the risk for later ill-health and need of health-care. Preventive interventions may contribute to reduce the ever-increasing level of lifestyle-related ill-health.
This project aims to develop and evaluate if an internet delivered psychological intervention for transgender individuals undergoing assessment for gender dysphoria and a support person, is feasible, acceptable and effective in increasing emotional skills, strengthening a healthy identity development, social support and resilience to current and future mental illness. In two studies, a psychological treatment for transgender adults (18+) seeking health care for gender dysphoria and a support person (i.e., relative, friend) will be evaluated. The project will be carried out at a specialized unit for transgender health care (ANOVA) at Karolinska University Hospital
Critically ill patients often suffer from dramatic muscle loss while in the ICU. Recovery of muscle structure and function have been proposed as core outcome measures for interventional studies in ICU survivors. Ultrasound is an accessible and validated tool to monitor muscle mass over time, with quadriceps muscle layer thickness (MLT) corresponding well to more invasive or cumbersome modalities. In order to design adequately powered studies investigating the effects of nutritional or metabolic interventions on post-ICU recovery, an estimate of the population standard deviation in MLT change over time is required. Currently there is a paucity of data describing changes in muscle mass during the subsequent period of hospitalization in ICU survivors. The aim of this study is to estimate the mean change and standard deviation in quadriceps MLT over time, in patients discharged alive from intensive care. Patients will be followed until hospital discharge or up to 28 days after ICU discharge. Interactions with nutritional intake, inflammation and metabolic rate will be analyzed for hypothesis-generating purposes.
The purpose is to investigate if different microparticles and markers of hemostasis predict outcome after TIA or ischemic stroke and to study the association between these variables and stroke subtype or etiology.
