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.
Physical training may improve physical capacity and health parameters in various systemic autoimmune diseases, including idiopathic inflammatory myopathies. Therefore, the present study will assess the role of an exercise training program in patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathies.
Physical training may improve physical capacity and health parameters in various systemic autoimmune diseases. Therefore, the present study will assess the role of an exercise training program in patients with relapsing polychondritis.
This is an open, controlled, prospective, proof-of-concept study, in 7 patients presenting NF1 and cutaneous neurofibromas. This study will include three treatment visits to the study center and three follow-up visits. Treatment will consist of two stages: neurofibroma microporation using the laser device, followed by topical application of one drop of diclofenac 25mg/ml on the surface of the neurofibroma; followed by re-application of one drop of diclofenac, twice daily, for three days. The applications subsequent to the first application will be performed by the patients. Subjects will return to the study center at three day intervals (Assessments 2 & 3) for new microporation and topical diclofenac application, followed by at-home topical diclofenac application for three more days. Assessment 4 will take place 3 days after Assessment 3. Assessment 5 will take place 7 days after the end of the treatment period and Assessment 6 at 30 days after the last application of study drug. The primary efficacy variable in this study is the inflammatory process with the presence of tissue necrosis. The primary safety variable is the occurrence of adverse events considered to be associated with the study drug, occurring during the treatment period.
Chikungunya fever is an acute viral disease, transmitted by the mosquito (Aedes aegypti), that triggers pain and disabling rheumatic manifestations. There is no cure for this disease, and the usual treatment is directed at relieving symptoms through the use of analgesics and antipyretics. Due to the risk of adverse effects triggered by prolonged use of analgesic and anti-inflammatory drugs, the use of complementary therapies, such as Auriculotherapy, might be a safe and effective non-pharmacological treatment for the management of Chikungunya symptomatic cases. Subjects diagnosed with Chikungunya and undergoing routine treatment will receive auricotherapy treatment once a week, for five weeks. Subjects will be assessed at baseline and after 4 and 8 weeks after intervention. This study might help understand the use of Auriculotherapy as a complementary treatment in the treatment of physical and functional symptoms of individuals infected by Chikungunya .
This study will compare the techniques of piezocision and alveolar corticotomies in accelerating orthodontic retraction movement of canines. In a second phase, this clinical trial will evaluate the effectiveness of micro-osteoperforations in accelerating the retraction of maxillary incisors.
The main objective of the study is to evaluate the thermogenic effect of ginger.
Photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) is a non-pharmacological method commonly used in treatment of musculoskeletal disorders. However, there are few high-quality scientific evidence to support the effectiveness of this therapy in the treatment of patients with chronic low back pain, at short, medium and long term. The present research project aims to evaluate the effects of PBMT in patients with chronic non-specific low back pain.
New strategies trying to achieve blood pressure control and consequently reduce cardiovascular risk in resistant hypertensive subjects are promising. In this context, the SGLT2 inhibitor dapagliflozin, not yet investigated in resistant hypertension, arises as a potential drug in order to impact on blood pressure levels, as well as target organ damage and adiposity in this high-risk population.
A randomized, open label phase 3 study of irinotecan liposome injection (ONIVYDE®) versus topotecan in patients with small cell lung cancer who have progressed on or after platinum-based first-line therapy The study was conducted in two parts: 1. Dose determination of irinotecan liposome injection 2. A randomized, efficacy study of irinotecan liposome injection versus topotecan
Obesity is a chronic disease that has grown to epidemic characteristics in Brazil and around the world in recent years. Treatment for patients with class III or class II obesity with comorbidities is already well established, with bariatric surgery being the best option. However, there is no consensus as to the best treatment for cases of class I and class II obesity without comorbidities. The objective of this research will be to make a gastric tube similar to that obtained in surgical gastroplication however it will be created using intragastric endoscopic sutures. The procedures will be performed at the Endoscopy Service of the Mario Covas Hospital in São Paulo, SP. Data collection will be performed at the same location.
