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 overall goal is to increase the knowledge that can be used for the development of food products with antidiabetic properties, with the aim of facilitating healthier food choices for people. More specifically, the primary aim of this project is to evaluate the effects of different varieties of quinoa on postprandial glucose tolerance and subjective appetite markers. The crossover, randomised dietary intervention study will be conducted in healthy adults.
The goal of this single center prospective controlled observational and interventional trial is to investigate and compare origin of air emboli when different venous cannulation methods is used in patients undergoing cardiac surgery with extracorporeal circulation. 40 consecutive elective patients will be included in two groups, depending on the procedure requiring bicaval or cavoatrial cannulation. After assorted into respective group, patients will be block randomized (five groups consisting of eight patients each) to either intervention group (low venous reservoir volume, 200-300 mL) or control group (venous reservoir volume > 300 mL). Primary endpoint is to investigate if the amount of air emboli passing through the oxygenator to the arterial line differs between bicaval and cavoatrial venous cannulation during extracorporeal circulation. Secondary endpoints are the relative difference in amount air emboli between the groups, if there is any correlation between the amount of air in venous line and the amount of air passing through the oxygenator to the arterial line during extracorporeal circulation, and if difference is seen on the amount of air passing through the oxygenator depending on the level of volume in the venous reservoir.
The goal of this clinical is to pilot test an internet delivered cognitive behavior therapy (ICBT) based on intolerance of uncertainty (one of several existing specific cognitive models for how worry works) in treating generalised anxiety disorder (GAD). The main aims is to: - Test the preliminary effect of the intervention in lowering symptoms of GAD as measured by the self report scale GAD-7 - Test procedures for recruitment, assessment, treatment and follow up - Test the acceptability of the intervention as measured by the Client Satisfaction questionnaire-8, dropout and adverse events Participants will apply for treatment in an online system, be assessed via video by a licensed clinical psychologist and then receive a 10 week long ICBT intervention based on the intolerance of uncertainty model. This is a pilot study for an upcoming randomized controlled trial.
The purpose of this study is to measure the regional distribution and binding of [11C]AZ14132516 to CCR9 in the abdomen using PET-CT examination in healthy participants. Study details include: The study duration will be up to 60 days. The IV radioligand [11C]AZ14132516 will be administered at PET-CT examination: Visit 2 for the pilot panel; Visit 2 and 3 in the main panel. There will be 2 study visits for the pilot panel and 3 study visits for the main panel.
A cohort of fibromyalgia (FM) patients (n =90) and healthy controls (HC) (n= 93) was recruited to investigate the associations between human IgG binding to satellite glia cells (SGC) from dorsal root ganglia (DRG) and pathophysiological mechanisms. The study is based on previously identified mechanisms resulting from injecting human IgG antibodies from FM patients, but not HC, in mice (Goebel et al. J Clin Invest. 2021;131(13):e144201). Subjects have been carefully phenotyped using validated questionnaires and quantitative sensory testing (QST) was applied to determine pain sensitivity. A blood sample was taken to quantify anti-SGC IgG, as well as proteins, lipids and metabolites. Skin biopsies were taken to analyze changes in skin innervation (IENFD) and immune cell activation. Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) was performed (n=122) to investigate central nervous system pain related mechanisms. Insular glutamate levels, as well as the levels of other brain metabolites will be determined (MRS) and related to symptom severity and anti-SGC IgG levels. Resting state as well as pain related cerebral activation (BOLD) during standardized evoked pain stimuli will be characterized (fMRI) and related to the MRS findings and to anti-SGC IgG levels.
Peripheral intravenous catheters are necessary for in-hospital medical treatment. Malfunction due to occlusion or dislodgement is common, and increases the burden on health care. The aim of this study is to determine if the use of a new medical device has an impact on mechanical complications rate when peripheral intravenous (IV) catheter is used. The study will also investigate the safety, opinions of healthcare personnel and health economic effects of this new device,
To evaluate the efficacy of arginase inhibition on endothelial function in patients with type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes.
Aim of the study is to investigate health effects of oats and oat derived components, in human intervention studies, with the purpose to build new knowledge for development of cardiometabolic protective foods.
Background: Symptomatic hypermobility may lead to a number of restrictions in daily life. So far, there is a lack of effective treatments. A whole-body dynamic stability exercise intervention targets to stimulate the dynamic stability and activation of the proprioceptive system and thereby intends to improve patients' health. The aim of the current study was to examine the feasibility, acceptability and impact of a whole-body dynamic stability exercise intervention in patients with hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and hypermobility spectrum disorder. The aim of the current study was to examine the feasibility, acceptability and impact of a dynamic stability exercise intervention in patients with hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and hypermobility spectrum disorder. Methods: This is a mixed-methods feasibility study. Fifteen patients (14 women and 1 man) with hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome or hypermobility spectrum disorder and chronic pain were recruited from two pain specialist clinics in the South-East of Sweden. A dynamic stability exercise program for daily home-exercise was applied during five physiotherapist led sessions distributed over seven weeks. Patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) included pain and function, psychological well-being and quality of life. The clinical tests included walking and balance. Through qualitative interviews patients and physiotherapists described their experiences of the assessments and intervention. Assessments were done at baseline, after the intervention, and at the 3-month follow-up.
Early detection of bladder cancer (BCa) is considered an effective strategy to curb mortality from the disease. However, current urinary biomarkers have insufficient specificity to warrant BCa screening. Urine free glycosaminoglycan profiles (or GAGomes) are promising noninvasive biomarkers of cancer metabolism. In this study, samples are obtained from patients with BCa and controls to compare the glycosaminoglycan profiles between groups.
