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 will measure how many polyps are found and how accurately AI can determine polyp type and severity. The goal is to see if AI can improve…

This study aims to develop a machine learning system that can detect delayed cerebral ischemia early in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage. Researchers will analyze heart rate, brain waves, and blood markers from 1,500 participants. The goal is to create an early warning tool …

This study is testing whether special ultrasound scans can accurately detect liver damage in children without needing a needle biopsy. Researchers will compare scan results with biopsy results in 550 children with various liver conditions. If successful, this could lead to safer,…

This study looks at how different treatments affect quality of life in men with good-prognosis metastatic testicular cancer. Some will have surgery (RPLND) and others will get chemotherapy. The goal is to see which approach causes fewer side effects and better long-term well-bein…

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

This study looks at whether a device that sends mild electrical pulses to the spinal cord can reduce long-term leg pain in people who have had back surgery. About 50 adults aged 18 to 70 will receive both active stimulation and sham (no stimulation) for 3 months each, without kno…

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 follows 400 adults diagnosed with a pulmonary embolism (a blood clot in the lungs) at Sahlgrenska University Hospital. Researchers will repeat tests like blood work, heart tracings, and heart ultrasounds during the first two days to see if changes can better predict wh…

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 treatments for these risks lowers their chance of …

This study aims to create a prediction model using artificial intelligence and statistical methods to identify people with diabetes who are at high risk of developing foot ulcers. Researchers will analyze health records and social factors from 100,000 adults in Sweden. The goal i…

This study tracks 220 adults with acute pulmonary embolism who receive either clot-busting drugs or a catheter-based procedure. Researchers will compare rates of severe bleeding and death within 30 days. The goal is to understand which treatment is safer and more effective in rea…

This study follows 700 people who had a cardiac arrest and were treated with a machine called ECMO (which helps the heart and lungs work). The goal is to find out which patients are most likely to survive with good brain function, and to improve how doctors choose who gets this t…

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

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 sticker on the skin (transcutaneous) with a standard blo…

This study aims to uncover the key factors that cause and worsen systemic sclerosis (scleroderma), a serious autoimmune disease that hardens the skin and can damage organs like the lungs. Researchers will collect blood and skin samples from 150 patients in Sweden to look for gene…
