This trial tests whether a 16-week supervised exercise program can reduce symptoms of postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), a condition that causes a sharp rise in heart rate and symptoms like dizziness and fatigue when standing. Researchers at Lund University will en…

This trial tests a three-part 'Cesarean Bundle' designed to improve communication and trust between pregnant women and their care teams when discussing planned cesarean sections. The bundle includes a discussion guide, a mandatory second opinion, and shared decision-making suppor…

This study tests whether ColdZyme mouth spray can lower the amount of virus people breathe out when they have a cold or flu. Researchers will measure virus particles in exhaled air before and after using the spray. The goal is to see if the spray might help reduce airborne transm…

This study tests whether intensive diet and physical activity counseling from 3 months to 2 years of age can protect the pancreas in infants with a genetic risk for Type 1 diabetes. About 1,244 babies will be randomly assigned to receive the counseling or standard care, and resea…

This study compares a semi-structured, progressive exercise program led by a physical therapist to usual care for people aged 18-55 with long-term hip and groin pain. The goal is to see which approach better improves hip-related quality of life. Participants will be followed for …
