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.
The investigators set out to develop a clinical trial in order to test the topical use of hydrocortisone as a intraoperative irrigant solution. As this route of administration as well as being low cost and not add new steps to the surgical procedure, can contribute to an improved quality of life in the postoperative period of patients undergoing extraction of third molars.
This study is a long-term study of ataluren in participants with nonsense mutation Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
The elbow contracture is a secondary injury that can occur after direct trauma, causing the patient to have limitations in their range of motion. Objective evaluation protocols that help in decision making for the indication of these therapeutic resources have great value in rehabilitation, as they reduce unnecessary expenses and improve the assertiveness in the indication of this resource. Objective: To verify the immediate effects of superficial heat associated with sustained stretching through muscle activity and range of motion in the posttraumatic contractures of the elbow seeking the best indication of orthosis. Methods: Characterized as a randomized crossover type clinical trial. Sample of 20 adult subjects, of both sexes, over 18 years old, with elbow stiffness due to fractures and / or dislocations with indication of orthosis use. Patients will be divided into 2 randomly assigned intervention groups: the control group (CG) who will perform the 10 'sustained stretching drawn by a defined load through maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC) and the modified Weeks Group (GWM) will perform 20 'of surface heat through the swirl and soon after the stretching sustained by 10' with already defined load. All patients will undergo an initial assessment and will participate in all 2 interventions while respecting a 7 day washout period. Goniometry and the visual analogue scale will be applied at the beginning and end of the interventions. The Delsys® brand equipment will be used to collect the electromyographic data. Placement and positioning of the electrodes will follow the determinations of the Seniam protocol. The activation of the brachial, brachioradial and triceps brachii muscles during the MVIC will be analyzed and also during the respective intervention protocols.
This study consists in an cluster-randomized clinical trial involving near 60 Brazilian intensive care units (ICUs) with a high notification rate of potential donors of organs and tissues. ICUs will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to manage potential organ donors through the use of a evidence-based checklist or to manage potential organ donors according usual care. The primary outcome is the rate of losses of potential donors due to cardiac arrest. Secondary outcome measures include number of effective organ donors and number of organs recovery per effective donor. The first subject was enrolled on June 20, 2018.
This study will evaluate the preliminary efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of cobimetinib and atezolizumab in participants with advanced BRAF V600-wild type (WT), metastatic, or unresectable locally advanced melanoma who have progressed on prior anti-PD-1 therapy. In addition, this study will evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of atezolizumab monotherapy in participants with BRAFV600-WT metastatic or unresectable locally advanced melanoma, who have not been previously treated.
Fear and dental anxiety are often associated with the use of needles and syringes for local anesthesia, and painful perception during the administration of local anesthetics is often the main reason for anxiety behaviors and defensive reactions. Dental trauma originates in childhood, through experience misconduct. The objective of this study is to evaluate the pain and anxiety related to 4 different modalities of anesthesia in children. Will be selected volunteers aged between 5 and 12 years who need restorative dental treatment in posterior teeth in the upper 2 quadrants. All patients will receive 1 modality of anesthesia: conventional anesthesia (control group), computerized anesthesia, Dental Vibe anesthesia and computerized anesthesia + DentalVibe anesthesia. Evaluations will be made with physiological and behavioral criteria. For the physiological evaluation will be measured the blood pressure, respiratory rate, heart rate, oximetry and salivary cortisol before and during each anesthesia. As criteria for evaluation of anxiety will be applied the methods, Corah and modified VPT before anesthesia and modified VPT will be repeated after anesthesia. The pain will be assessed at the end of each anesthesia with Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and Wong Baker Faces. The results will be submitted to parametric and non-parametric statistical analysis, according to the data obtained in the different evaluation criteria.
This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of tedizolid phosphate (MK-1986) compared with comparator antibacterial agent in participants from birth to less than 12 years of age with acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections (ABSSSI).
Sexuality is considered one of the pillars of quality of life, an integral part of the personality of each individual. Being a basic human being need, it cannot be separated from other aspects of life. For several centuries and until recently, sexuality was considered the "lower instincts" expression related only to the sexual act. Sex is associated with "reproduction" of the sexual energy. On the other hand, the exercise of sexuality includes various factors such as the building of the sensitivity between individuals like touch, dance, fantasy, look, etc. For a long time feminine sexuality was predominantly focused on procreation and has only recently been considered as an integral part of sexual and reproductive rights of women. Vaginismus is a female sexual dysfunction that affects the quality of sexual and psychosocial lives of women, influencing the quality of the couple's relationship. The scientific literature emphasizes the importance of the examination, diagnosis and physical therapy for this dysfunction, but until now there is no quantification or evaluation of the pelvic floor muscles for this group of women, which justifies the realization of this project.
The presence of trigger points in the pelvic floor musculature (PFM) is a frequent condition in individuals with chronic pelvic pain (CPP) and is associated with higher levels of pain, disability and functional decline. The purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness of two interventions: pelvic floor muscle (PFM) training with biofeedback and PFM training with the addition of trigger point dry needling applied over(Lumbar square, psoas, external obliques, gluteus medius, piriformis and adductors) on pain and quality of life of women with CPP.
The objective of this clinical study is to assess the irritation and sensitisation potential of a cosmetic test product after repeated semi-occlusive patch applications to healthy human participants by following a conventional HRIPT methodology under supervision of a dermatologist.
