Solutions Trial: Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) in 10 –17-year-olds presenting at police custody: a randomised controlled trial
DiscussionThis two-arm individually RCT will evaluate the effectiveness of SFBT in reducing offending behaviours in CYP presenting at police custody suites within the area served by LSCFT. Our process evaluation will assess the fidelity of delivery of SFBT, the factors affecting implementation, the acceptability of SFBT in CYP aged 10 –17 years and recruitment and reach. We will also examine systems and structures for future delivery, therefore assessing overall scalability.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov ISRCTN14195235. Registered on June 16, 2023.

Coenzyme Q10 supplementation in burn patients: a double-blind placebo-controlled randomized clinical trial
ConclusionResults showed that in patients with burn injury, CoQ10 administration had no effect on inflammatory markers and oxidative stress, although serum albumin levels were improved after supplementation. Further studies with albumin as the primary outcome are needed to confirm this finding. (Source: Trials)

Study protocol: a core outcome set for perioperative exercise clinical effectiveness trials for lung cancer patients
Outcome assessment in perioperative exercise trials for lung cancer is heterogeneous, often omitting those that are important and patient-relevant. This heterogeneity hinders the synthesis of evidence. To addr... (Source: Trials)

Transdiagnostic and tailored internet intervention to improve mental health among university students: Research protocol for a randomized controlled trial
This study will offer 1200 university students in Sweden participation in a three-armed randomized controlled trial (RCT) evaluating a guided or unguided transdiagnostic internet intervention for mild to moderate depression and anxiety, where the waitlist control group accesses the intervention at 6-month follow-up. Students reporting suicidal ideation/behaviors will be excluded and referred to treatment within the existing healthcare system. An embedded study within the trial (SWAT) will assess at week 3 of 8 whether participants in the guided and unguided groups are at higher risk of failing to benefit from treatment. Th...

Study protocol: a core outcome set for perioperative exercise clinical effectiveness trials for lung cancer patients
This study protocol describes the methodology, aiming to develop a core outcome set for perioperative exercise intervention trials for lung cancer in clinical practice.MethodsThe project will follow the standard methodology recommended by the Core Outcome Measures in Effectiveness Trials (COMET) initiative, which is divided into four steps. Stage I: Conducting a scoping review of outcomes reported in clinical trials and protocols to develop a list of potential outcome domains. Stage II: Conducting semi-structured interviews to obtain important outcomes for patients. Stage III: Choosing the most important outcomes by conduc...

Integrated exercise program in opioid agonist therapy clinics and effect on psychological distress: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial (BAReAktiv)
This study will provide improved knowledge on the effects of an integrated exercise program in opioid agonist therapy.DiscussionSystematically integrating exercise programs for people receiving opioid agonist therapy could lead to a shift towards a stronger focus on health behaviors in outpatient care. Integrating exercise could benefit patient recovery and reduce disease burden. Further scale-up will be considered if the provided exercise program is safe and effective.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov. NCT05242848. Registered on February 16, 2022. (Source: Trials)

Aspin: neurosurgical aspirin intervention prognostic study — perioperative continuation versus discontinuation of aspirin in lumbar spinal surgery, a randomized controlled, noninferiority trial
AbstractRationaleAspirin is typically discontinued in cranial and spinal surgery because of the increased risk of hemorrhagic complications, but comes together with the risk of resulting in an increase of cardiac and neurologic thrombotic perioperative events.ObjectiveThe aim of this study is to investigate the non-inferiority of perioperative continuation of aspirin patients undergoing low complex lumbar spinal surgery, compared with the current policy of perioperative discontinuation of aspirin.Study designA randomized controlled trial with two parallel groups of 277 cases (554 in total).Study populationPatients undergoi...
