This study is testing a procedure called EUS-guided radiofrequency ablation (EUS-RFA) for people with pancreatic insulinoma, a rare tumor that causes low blood sugar. The procedure uses a thin needle passed through an endoscope to deliver heat and destroy the tumor. Researchers w…

This study is testing whether machine learning and special brain injury markers in blood and spinal fluid can warn doctors early when a patient with a brain bleed is developing delayed cerebral ischemia (lack of oxygen to the brain). Researchers will monitor 1,500 adults in inten…

This study compares AI-assisted colonoscopy to conventional colonoscopy in 915 adults aged 50 and older. The goal is to see if AI helps doctors detect more polyps and better classify them as benign or malignant. Researchers will also compare costs between the two methods.

This study is testing whether special ultrasound scans can accurately detect liver damage in children without needing a needle biopsy. Researchers will compare these scans to standard biopsy results in 550 children with various liver conditions. If the scans prove reliable, they …

This study tests a new parent group program for teens aged 12-17 with autism who also have anxiety or depression. The program teaches parents skills to support their teen's mental health. Researchers will see if the program is practical and helpful for families.

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 and col…

This study tests whether a daily physical activity routine, started before and continued during radiotherapy, can improve physical function and quality of life for head and neck cancer patients. 80 patients with tumors of the oropharynx, larynx, or hypopharynx will be randomly as…

This study tests whether a spinal cord stimulator can reduce long-term leg pain in people who still have pain after lumbar spine surgery. Fifty adults aged 18-70 who have not improved with other treatments will receive either active stimulation or sham (no stimulation) for 3 mont…

This study follows 300 people with a broken wrist (distal radius fracture) to understand their pain, hand function, and use of painkillers or splints during the first three months. Participants will fill out daily and weekly questionnaires. The goal is to learn what recovery real…

This study follows 400 adults diagnosed with pulmonary embolism (a blood clot in the lungs) at a Swedish hospital. Researchers will repeatedly check heart tests and blood markers during the first 48 hours to see if early changes can better predict who will worsen. The goal is to …

This study looks at men with good-prognosis metastatic testicular cancer to see if surgery (RPLND) leads to a better quality of life than chemotherapy. About 160 men over 18 will be followed to measure side effects and daily well-being. The goal is to find which treatment causes …

This study looks at whether people who have their first seizure after age 50 should be checked for stroke risk factors like high blood pressure, diabetes, and high cholesterol. Researchers will screen 420 participants and track whether starting medications for these risks improve…

This study is tracking 220 adults across Nordic countries who receive either clot-dissolving drugs or a catheter-based procedure for a severe pulmonary embolism. Researchers are comparing how often each treatment leads to serious bleeding or death within 30 days. The goal is to p…

This study follows 700 patients who received ECMO after cardiac arrest to find out what predicts survival and good brain function. Researchers will also check if pre-primed ECMO machines work safely and how patients fare years later. The goal is to help doctors choose the right p…

This observational study aims to uncover why systemic sclerosis (SSc) develops and worsens. Researchers will analyze blood, skin, and DNA from 150 patients in Sweden to find markers linked to disease activity and progression. The goal is to improve diagnosis and identify new trea…

This study aims to create a prediction model using artificial intelligence and statistics to identify which people with diabetes are at risk of developing foot ulcers. Researchers will analyze health records and demographic data from 100,000 adults in Sweden. The goal is to impro…

This study looks at 100 adults having liver tumor treatment with a special breathing method called jet ventilation. Normally, carbon dioxide is measured in exhaled air, but that doesn't work here. Researchers will compare a skin sensor to a standard blood test to see if they give…
