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.
Young, healthy elite boxers ≥ 18 years old are recruited. Prior to, and immediately after a competitive boxing bout over 3x2 or 3x3 minutes, blood samples are drawn. Boxers are randomized to intervention or control management by 1:1 allocation prior to baseline testing. After the initial post-fight blood sample is drawn and symptom rating using the sports concussion assessment tool-5 (SCAT-5) has been collected, the boxers receive either acute selective head-and-neck cooling for 45 min, or routine post-fight management. The number of head impacts are counted in all boxers on match video recordings. In both groups, blood samples are drawn 45 minutes after the initial post-bout blood sample, as well as 3 and 6 days post-fight.
One in 10 adults in Region Stockholm have chronic kidney disease (CKD), which dramatically increases healthcare costs and the risk of medication errors or adverse health outcomes, including cardiovascular disease and death. Identification and early management of these patients is done in primary care settings. However, most adults with CKD in our region are under detected, undiagnosed and undertreated, with low rates of referral to nephrology-specialist care. This is a pragmatic cluster randomized controlled trial (RCT) involving 66 primary healthcare centers in Region Stockholm, and testing the effect of an electronic clinical decision support (CDS) triggering system to assist general practitioners through the guideline-recommended processes of CKD care. The centers, providing healthcare to approximately 780.000 citizens, will be randomized 50:50 to this CDS trigger (vs basic advice) for 18 months. Study outcomes will consider the improvement in the indicators of CKD care. As a pragmatic trial there is no active recruitment or active data collection. The trial is embedded into the ongoing Stockholm CREAtinine Measurements (SCREAM) project, a database collection of healthcare use for the complete population of Stockholm. Using this real-world healthcare data collection, the investigators will be able to measure with precision the impact of our CDS trigger and its potential to improve clinical care.
The study is designed to deliver further information on clinical benefit, patients' satisfaction, and perception of handling and to confirm safety of Navina Mini when used in children and adolescents.
The aim of this pilot randomized controlled trial LI-PAD is to identify whether a 6-month intervention approach to individually optimize lifestyle behavior, physical activity, and diet, is feasible and leads to larger improvements in body weight, cardiovascular disease risk factors, and health-related quality of life compared to simple written lifestyle advice, in individuals with overweight or obesity. The intervention group will be offered individual support for lifestyle behavioral change (precision health) and the control group will be offered written lifestyle advice, following national recommendations. In total, 60 population-based participants and 60 controls from the Gothenburg area, aged 45-65 years, will be recruited.
In this clinical study, photoacoustic imaging will be used on patients with suspected skin cancer (primarily melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma) to determine the tumor borders both superficially and at a depth.
This is an un-controlled, prospective, multi center, post market clinical follow-up investigation that will enroll male and female subjects in need of bowel management with low-volume transanal irrigation (TAI) as judged by the investigator. A total of 40 investigational subjects in need of low-volume TAI will be recruited from 2-3 sites in Sweden and will be treated with Navina Mini as per product intended purpose and per instruction of use during a period of four weeks. Participating subjects will perform three visits during the clinical investigation and will be followed for a total of four weeks. The first visit, Visit 1, will be performed at the investigational clinic to assess eligibility, collect demographics, baseline data and instruct how to use the device. Visit 2 will be performed after two weeks of treatment through telephone contact. The final visit, Visit 3, will be performed after additional two weeks of treatment, and can be performed either at the investigational clinic or through telephone contact.
Background: Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (REDs) describes impairment of health and performance due to problematic (long-term/severe) low energy availability (LEA), with or without eating disorders. LEA is frequently reported in sports with high training volumes, especially in leanness demanding sports, and 20% of female and 9% of male Norwegian national team athletes have been reported to have eating disorders. Potential trigger factors are e.g., dieting, injuries, coaching behavior, and subculture aspects e.g., focus on low body weight. The main questions that will be addressed are: 1. What is the prevalence of eating disorders and REDs among Swedish elite athletes and controls? 2. What is the impact of problematic LEA on health and performance aspects in both male and female athletes? Methods: National team athletes and gender and matched controls will be invited to an anonymous on-line survey. Elite athletes who agree to participate, will be invited to assessment of eating disorders, nutritional and physiological status (e.g., metabolic and endocrine markers, bone health, microbiota, dietary intake, energy availability, and performance).
This study is aimed to validate the questionnaire called Pediatric Sleep Questionnaire on a Swedish cohort of children from 18 months to 15 years old with obstructive sleep disordered breathing.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of escalating doses of TCD601 when compared to rATG in de novo renal transplant patients.
The primary aim of the present study is to evaluate how automatically calculated (by an AI-based method) tumour burden, measured as tumour volume (TV) and as tumour uptake (TU: TV x SUVmean) in the prostate/prostate bed, pelvic lymph nodes, distant lymph nodes, bone and as the total tumour burden predicts overall survival (OS) in patients with prostate cancer (newly diagnosed and patients with biochemical recurrence).
