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.
The main purpose of this study is to investigate if the internet-based computer-game Grapholearn (GL) is an effective tool for early and intensive intervention of the reading decoding skills in Swedish children with DLD, as compared to two control groups of children with DLD (I) playing a math computer game, and (II) attending usual schooling. Hypothesis: Five weeks of 20 sessions of GL will improve the accuracy of word and nonword decoding skills in children with DLD from baseline to T2 and T3. The GL intervention group will perform higher number of accuratly decoded words and nonwords than the two control groups at T2, and at T3. The second aim is to elucidate how the parents' language and reading skills, prevalence of language-related diagnoses, and socio-economic-status, and the children's self-reported self-esteem is related to their reading skills. Hypothesis 1: Children with DLD who's parents show poor language and/or reading skills will perform lower on the word/nonword decoding tests. Hypothesis 2: Children who show no significant improvement of word/nonword decoding skills will to a higher degree have parents with reading difficulties. Hypothesis 3: Parents highest level of education will not be associated with the participating childrens language and reading skills. Hypothesis 4: Results from the self-reported self-esteem will be lower than normdata from the test manual, and will not be associated with the children's language and reading skills.
The aim of this study is to investigate second meal effects of a wholegrain cereal product on blood glucose response. The wholegrain cereal product will be consumed in the evening and blood glucose analyzed after a standardized breakfast meal the following morning.
Movement screening tests to identify deficits or poor movement quality is commonly used in soccer and other sports to assess injury, to evaluate rehabilitation goals and return to sport after injury. Female soccer players have an increased risk of suffering a knee injury which can be related to a poor knee control. Knee control can be observed and assessed by the Single Leg Squat (SLS) test. The SLS test is reported to be reliable, but there still is an overall lack of clear evidence of the accuracy for tests used for assessing movement quality in sports medicine, and the discriminate and predictive validity of the SLS test in a female soccer cohort needs to be further investigated. It is also not clear what significance other physiological- psychosocial- and hormonal factors have for the outcome of the SLS and for injury. The overall aim of this project is to investigate if the outcome of a visually assessed SLS test can discriminate between individuals with a previous injury in the lower extremity, and if the outcome, separate or together with physiological-, psychosocial- and hormonal factors can predict future injury in a cohort of female soccer players. The authors hypothesises that the outcome of the SLS cannot discriminate between individuals with a previous injury in the lower extremity but that the outcome of the SLS, separate or together with physiological-, psychosocial- and hormonal factors can predict future injury in a cohort of female soccer players. 269 female soccer players (≥16 Yr.) from Damallsvenskan, Elitettan and division 1 in the area of Stockholm was enrolled in the study and baseline measurements were done during 2022-01-08 to 2022-02-21. The female soccer cohort will be followed during the season 2022 regarding injuries upcoming injuries.
The objective was to study and evaluate earlier and extended postpartum care visits (week 3 and 7) compared to the current structure of one traditional visit 7 weeks postpartum. In Sweden there is an organized system of antenatal and postnatal care based on local maternity clinics that are run by midwives who collaborate with obstetricians and surrounding hospitals. Pregnant women are regularly assessed by a midwife during their antenatal care. If complications occur, they are assessed by an obstetrician at the maternity clinic or at the nearest hospital. Postnatally a follow up visit to the same maternity clinic is offered usually about 6-12 weeks postpartum. Nowadays a healthy primigravid woman with a full-term pregnancy and a healthy child leaves the hospital within 6-24 hours postpartum. Many women experience the time between leaving the hospital until the postnatal follow up visit as too long. It is described that women missing early feedback regarding the experience of giving birth, breastfeeding, the transition of parenthood and sometimes physical examination.The eligible women enrolled were asked if they wanted to voluntarily participate in the trial about postpartum care.The women participating were recruited in pregnancy week 37 and offered to join, and if interested randomly divided into one of two groups. One control group who received a traditional postpartum care visit, that is one visit to a midwife 7 weeks postpartum, and one intervention group where the participating women were invited to two visits to the midwife; 3 weeks postpartum and then an additional visit 7 weeks postpartum. At the end of the visits both in the intervention group and in the control group the women completed a questionnaire given them via a Quick Response-code (QR-code) to fill in on their mobile phone. The questionnaire contained questions regarding delivery, breastfeeding, satisfaction with recieved care, evaluation of postpartum care offered, satisfaction with the visit and birth control. The hypothesis is that two visits (week 3 and 7) will have an impact on womens health, wellbeing, satisfaction and contraceptive use postpartum.
The purpose of this study is to assess if arm elevation, with or without simultaneous deep breathing, affects oxygen saturation and lung function on patients two to four days after open heart surgery.
The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of C21 on forearm blood flow by use of strain-gauge venous occlusion plethysmography.
The overall goal is to increase the knowledge that can be used for the development of food products with anti-diabetic properties, with the purpose to facilitate healthier food choices for people. More specifically the primary purpose of this project is to evaluate effects in healthy humans on acute postprandial glucose regulation of plant based lipids. Due to the tight connection between cardiometabolic health and cognitive functions, a secondary issue is to investigate effects of test foods on cognitive test variables and mood parameters.
This study will evaluate the efficacy, pharmacodynamics (PD) and safety of ELX/TEZ/IVA in participants 6 years of age and older with a non-F508del ELX/TEZ/IVA-responsive cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator gene (CFTR) mutation.
This is a registry and medical record based epidemiological description of patients with digitial nerve injuies in the Stockholm County, Sweden
The study was a randomized controlled trial investigating treatment effects against an active control condition. 101 self-recruited participants, aged 65 to 88 years, were included. The intervention was a 10-week internet-based tailored CBT protocol consisting of 6-10 pre-defined modules tailored to patient profile and preferences. Participants in the treatment group benefitted more than participants in the control condition on almost all measures with moderate between-group effect-sizes.
