This study looks at 3,500 unconscious patients who survived a cardiac arrest to find the best combination of sedation, fever control, and blood pressure management in the ICU. Each patient gets one of two levels for each factor (e.g., deep vs. light sedation, tight vs. loose feve…

This study compares two versions of the Triathlon total knee prosthesis—one fixed with bone cement and one without—in 60 people with knee osteoarthritis. Researchers will use special X-ray techniques to see how well each implant stays in place over time, and also track patients' …

This study compares two schedules for shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) to treat kidney stones 8-15 mm. 600 participants will receive two ESWL treatments either in the same week or three weeks apart. Researchers will measure how quickly stones clear, complication rates, and patient qu…

This first-in-human trial tests a stem cell therapy called STEM-PD for Parkinson's disease. Eight participants with moderate Parkinson's will have dopamine-producing cells transplanted into a brain region affected by the disease. The main goal is to check safety over 12 months, w…

This study compares a new hip implant cup (Trident II) to an older version to see if it stays just as stable in the bone after surgery. Researchers will track 87 patients aged 40-75 for up to 10 years using special X-rays to measure any implant movement. The goal is to ensure the…

This study tests a new uncemented knee replacement made with a porous metal called Tritanium, which may help bone grow into the implant for stronger fixation. It compares this to the standard cemented knee replacement in 72 patients with osteoarthritis. The goal is to see if the …

This study tests a special camera that uses light and sound to take 3D pictures of skin cancer. The goal is to see how deep and wide a tumor is before surgery. About 200 people with suspected skin cancer will take part. The images will be compared to standard lab results to see i…

This study tests a low-cost, portable ultrasound device (POCUS) combined with artificial intelligence to detect breast cancer in women with suspicious symptoms. The goal is to see if this approach works as well as standard imaging, especially in places where expensive equipment i…

This study looks at whether writing about your thoughts and feelings about breast cancer can improve quality of life. About 272 people recently diagnosed with breast cancer will be asked to write for 20 minutes once a week for four weeks. They will fill out questionnaires to meas…

This study tests a special guide (Swedish Palliative Care Guide) to help nursing home staff provide better care for older adults, including those with dementia. The goal is to make sure residents and their families feel informed and secure about future care. About 400 people livi…

This study tests whether adding ultrasound-guided nerve blocks before hip or knee replacement surgery can reduce pain and opioid use compared to standard pain management. 400 adults with osteoarthritis will be enrolled. The goal is to improve recovery and reduce side effects like…

This study aimed to test whether acupuncture could help reduce crying in babies with infant colic. It planned to enroll 128 healthy infants aged 2-9 weeks who cried at least 3 hours a day. However, the trial was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so no results are a…

This study compares two special diets—low FODMAP and a starch-and-sugar-reduced diet—to see which one works better for reducing belly pain, bloating, and other IBS symptoms. About 200 adults with IBS will follow one of the diets and report how they feel. The goal is to find out w…

This study investigates whether taking rifampicin for latent tuberculosis increases the risk of antibiotic resistance in Staphylococcus aureus bacteria that naturally live on the skin. Researchers will compare people treated with rifampicin to those treated with isoniazid, taking…

This study looks at how diet affects inflammation in people with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis (IBD). About 140 participants will either follow a Nordic-based test diet for six weeks or use a digital information tool. Researchers want to see if these approaches can reduce…

This study examines whether a low pulse pressure (the difference between top and bottom blood pressure numbers) in the first hours after a cardiac arrest is linked to early death. Researchers will analyze data from 3500 patients who had a cardiac arrest outside the hospital and a…

This study aims to find out how many people over 75 who visit the emergency department have unmet palliative care needs, and whether those needs are recorded in their medical files. Researchers will assess patients using a special guide and compare it to what is documented. The g…

This study looks at two different knee replacement parts to see how much they move after surgery. Researchers will track 60 people with osteoarthritis over two years using special X-rays. The goal is to find out which type stays more stable in the bone.

This study looks at how bacteria living on the skin influence inflammation and skin barrier damage in people with eczema or other skin diseases. Researchers will collect skin samples and measure things like moisture loss, eczema severity, and quality of life in 100 participants. …

This study looks at blood samples from 682 adults who survived a cardiac arrest outside the hospital. Researchers are analyzing proteins to find new markers that could help predict recovery and understand the body's response after the heart stops. The goal is to discover potentia…
