There are about 10004 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Brazil. The country of the clinical trial is determined by the location of where the clinical research is being studied. Most studies are often held in multiple locations & countries.
Extraction of lower third molars semi-included or included is one of the most performed procedures in oral surgery, and inherent to the procedure there is a postoperative inflammatory response. Among the factors most routine to this response are pain, edema and trismus. The therapy taping has advantages in its use in the physiotherapy of several specialities, leading to the correction of muscular functions, reduction of edema, muscular spasms and reduction of pain. Thus, the objective of this split mouth, randomized, blind, clinical trial will be to evaluate the postoperative period of 32 third molars in the patients from the São Paulo State University (Unesp), Institute of Science and Technology, São José dos Campos, Brasil. These evaluations will be performed on the third and seventh days after the extraction, where the patients will be analyzed by evaluator who will measure the edema, the opening of the mouth (evaluation of muscle spasm) and collect the pain table delivered in the immediate postoperative period, comparing thus, the benefit of therapeutic banding in the postoperative period of the extraction of lower third molars. The analogue pain scale (VAS), together with the Ustün et al. (2003) and the millimeter rule will be used to compare the data and the results will be submitted to descriptive statistics and compared by means of the statistical analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey test with significance level of 5%.
The aim of this proposal is to evaluate the causal relationship between Zika virus (ZIKV) infections in pregnancy and congenital malformations. The study will estimate the absolute and relative risks of congenital malformations and other adverse outcomes of pregnancy among women who become infected with ZIKV during pregnancy compared to uninfected pregnant women, also leading to further validation of the Congenital Zika Syndrome.
Rationale and Background: Since 2013, Butantan Institute has been performing passive pharmacovigilance activities related to its triavalent, fragmented and inactivated vaccine (IB TIV). Objetive: To conduct an active surveillance study focusing on the elderly and health care professionals as part of Butantan pharmacovigilance plan, while passive surveillance activities will continue. The pharmacovigilance plan, via active surveillance, is being implemented in response to WHO requirements for pre-qualification of IB TIV.
As atrophic striae are common dermatological conditions. Various therapeutic modalities have been employed in the treatment of striae distensae, mainly in striae rubra. There are few studies that include the treatment of striae alba. The non-ablative fractionated laser and, more recently, microneedling are two distinct treatments, but they are widely used in dermatologist practice. The present randomized clinical trial is aimed at evaluating and evaluating the response of microneedle and fractional non-ablative laser Nd-yap 1340 in the treatment of abdominal striae alba.
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic and recurrent inflammatory disease, prevalent between 1 and 20% in the world population, with a predominance of childhood, but which may be present in adult life. AD results from a complex interaction between genetic and environmental factors, with the presence of a defect in the skin barrier and deregulation of the immune response, culminating in an inflammatory response in the skin predominantly type 2. Disease control is based on restoring skin hydration, smoothing itching and controlling the process specific sensitizing agents such as inhalant allergens and foods that may pathogenesis of the disease. In selected patients who present IgE mediated response to inhalant allergens, allergen-specific immunotherapy can be effective. Classically, the subcutaneous route is the most used, however, sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) has been used in increasing form. There are still few studies on the efficacy and safety of SLIT in atopic dermatitis. Therefore, the present study aims to to investigate the role of SLIT in the management of patients with AD allergic mites, through a randomized, double-blind and placebo-controlled study
Lichen planus is a chronic inflammatory mucocutaneous disease, which often results in oral manifestations, receiving the name of oral lichen planus (OLP). Its frequency varies from 0,1 to 4% of the general population, with a higher incidence in women, around the 4th and 5th decades of life. Although the pathogenesis of OLP is related to a immune-cellular response, mainly mediated by T lymphocytes, its cause remains unknown. Considering its chronic nature, control of OLP aims to reduce symptoms and improve function, and agents with anti-inflammatory action, especially topical corticosteroids result in some degree of success in most patients, depending on the clinical presentation. However, some cases are resistant to the use of corticosteroids, thus justifying the search for new therapeutic options. The immunomodulation proved to be one of the main functions of probiotic bacteria, and recent studies have shown effect of probiotics on decreasing the expression of inflammatory markers, which enables the study of this therapy as an alternative to the control of OLP. Thus, this project aims to evaluate the effects of therapy with Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis HN019 comparing with clobetasol propionate 0.05% in symptomatic patients with OLP referred for diagnosis and treatment of School of Dentistry of Ribeirão Preto - University of São Paulo (USP). The impact of the topical therapy (probiotic or corticosteroid) on the clinical, histopathological and immunopathological features will be evaluated. This project was previously submitted and approved by the Institutional Review Board of the School of Dentistry of Ribeirão Preto/USP, and all patients must give informed consent to participate in this study.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is characterized by obstruction to pulmonary airflow and dyspnea. These characteristics are a consequence of exposure to harmful gases and particles that lead to oxidative stress in the lungs together with an exaggerated inflammatory response. In addition to respiratory impairment, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease has systemic manifestations, nutritional alterations, and exercise limitation. Pulmonary rehabilitation is one of the most effective interventions in the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, with one goal being to improve patient capacity. Whey protein supplementation, concomitant with physical activity for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, aims to stimulate protein synthesis and decrease muscle catabolism that may be caused by exercise. The investigators aimed to evaluate the effects of whey protein supplementation supplementation on the physical capacity, body composition and tissue functionality of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in a pulmonary rehabilitation program.
A prospective longitudinal and observational clinical study will be conducted with hospitalized heart failure patients.The main purpose is to know the level of physical activity of these patients after their discharge in relation to the orientation received during their hospitalization and identify the barriers perceived by these patients to participate in a cardiac rehabilitation program. The outcomes are available by telephone calls in 30 and 90 days after discharge.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of an 8-week bedaquiline monotherapy regimen in participants with treatment-naive, multibacillary (MB) leprosy.
The extraction of third molars, a frequent treatment in clinical dental practice, can lead patients to painful symptoms during and after surgery. The dental surgeon must correctly indicate the need for extraction and also provide patients who need this treatment greater comfort and control of pain in the trans and postoperative period. Thus, it is necessary to use an effective local anesthetic favoring the factors inherent to the postoperative and achieving good treatment results.
