This study tests a procedure called EUS-guided radiofrequency ablation (EUS-RFA) for people with pancreatic insulinoma, a rare tumor that causes low blood sugar. The goal is to destroy the tumor cells using heat delivered through an endoscope, relieving symptoms without major sur…

This study compares AI-assisted colonoscopy to the standard procedure for detecting and classifying colon polyps in adults over 50. Researchers want to see if AI improves the adenoma detection rate and helps doctors determine polyp type and severity. The trial will enroll 915 par…

This study aims to develop a machine learning system that can detect delayed cerebral ischemia (reduced blood flow to the brain) early in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage. Researchers will analyze heart rate, brain waves, and blood markers from 1,500 intensive care patients.…

This study is testing whether special ultrasound scans can accurately detect liver problems in children without needing a needle biopsy. Researchers will compare these scans to standard biopsy results in 550 children with various liver conditions. If successful, this could make l…

This study tests whether a spinal cord stimulator (a device that sends mild electrical pulses to the spine) can reduce stubborn leg pain that persists after back surgery. About 50 adults aged 18-70 who still have significant leg pain despite other treatments will receive both act…

This study looks at whether starting a physical activity program before and continuing it during radiotherapy can help head and neck cancer patients maintain their physical function and quality of life. About 80 participants will be randomly assigned to either an exercise group o…

This study tests whether a daily probiotic supplement can reduce symptoms like belly pain and bloating in people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). About 252 adults with IBS will take either the probiotic or a placebo for 12 weeks. Researchers will track symptom changes using q…

This study aims to understand what causes systemic sclerosis (SSc), a rare and serious disease that causes hardening of the skin and lungs. Researchers will collect blood, skin, and DNA samples from 150 people with SSc in Sweden to find markers that predict disease activity and t…

This study looks at 100 adults having liver tumor treatment with a special breathing method called jet ventilation. During this procedure, standard exhaled-air CO2 monitoring doesn't work. Researchers will compare a skin sensor (transcutaneous) with a standard blood test (arteria…

This study follows 400 adults diagnosed with a pulmonary embolism (a blood clot in the lungs) at Sahlgrenska University Hospital. Researchers will repeatedly check heart function, electrical activity, and blood markers during the first 48 hours to see if changes can better predic…

This study follows 160 men with good prognosis metastatic testicular cancer to see if surgery (RPLND) causes fewer side effects than chemotherapy. Participants choose or are assigned to either surgery or 3-4 rounds of chemo. Researchers track quality of life, fatigue, and other o…

This study aims to create a computer model that can predict which people with diabetes are at risk of developing foot ulcers. Researchers will analyze health records and social factors from 100,000 adults in Sweden. The goal is to help doctors identify high-risk patients earlier …

This study looks at whether people who have their first seizure after age 50 should be checked for hidden heart and stroke risks like high blood pressure or diabetes. Researchers will screen 420 participants and track if starting medications for these risks lowers future strokes.…

This study follows 220 adults in Nordic countries who receive either clot-busting drugs or a catheter procedure for severe pulmonary embolism (blood clots in the lungs). Researchers will compare rates of serious bleeding and death within 30 days to see which treatment works bette…

This study follows 700 people who had a cardiac arrest and were treated with a machine called ECMO. Researchers want to find out which patients are most likely to survive and recover well, and to improve how doctors choose who gets this treatment. They will also check if the ECMO…

This study follows 300 people with a broken wrist to understand their pain, hand function, and satisfaction during the first three months after injury. Participants will report daily on pain and medication use, and weekly on wrist function. The goal is to learn what recovery real…
