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 aim of this study is to analyze the effects of isometric handgrip training (IHT) on blood pressure of hypertensive patients with peripheral arterial disease. Will be recruited 60 patients which will be randomized into 2 groups (30 per group), IHT and control group (CG). IHT group will training isometric contraction for 8 weeks. The GC patients will be encouraged to increase the level of physical activity. In the pre and post-intervention, brachial and central blood pressure will be measured.
It is suspected that zika virus infection during pregnancy is associated with microcephaly. The objective of this study is to investigate the occurrence of rash accompanied by three or more dengue-like signs and symptoms during pregnancy is related to the microcephaly using the case-control design.
The main purpose of this study is to compare nivolumab and ipilimumab with the extreme regimen as first line treatment in patients with recurrent or metastatic squamous cell of the head and neck cancer
The aim of the study is to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of the Dengue vaccine in a population of special interest, such as HIV-positive adults previously exposed to dengue. Primary Objective: - To describe the safety of each injection of CYD dengue vaccine in HIV-positive adults previously exposed to dengue. Secondary Objectives: - To describe the humoral immune response to each dengue serotype at baseline and after each injection of CYD dengue vaccine in HIV-positive adults previously exposed to dengue. - To detect the CYD dengue vaccinal viremia post-Inj 1 in HIV-positive adults previously exposed to dengue. - To describe changes in CD4 count and HIV RNA viral load after each injection of CYD dengue vaccine in HIV-positive adults previously exposed to dengue. Observational Objective: - To describe the FV (YF, Dengue, Zika) serological status in the study population at baseline.
Few studies have investigated breastfeeding in twins, and none have addressed the effect of antenatal counseling on breastfeeding twins.The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of antenatal breastfeeding counseling on the breastfeeding rates in twin pregnancies.
Systemic arterial hypertension is a disease with high prevalence in several countries, including Brazil. Many studies have correlated hypertension with accelerated loss of cognitive function, especially executive functions. There is some evidence that working memory (WM) is compromised in these populations. However, some computerized training has been developed to rehabilitate the WM, and among them the investigators highlight the Cogmed. Thus, the aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of Cogmed training in the performance of WM and attention of hypertensive patients, as well as the impact of training in the structure and brain function.
The investigators analyzed the HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor, rosuvastatin, for the prevention of contrast-medium-induced nephropathy in patients undergoing primary angioplasty.
Background. Atrial fibrillation is one of the most common complications in the postoperative period of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery and usually associated with increased length of hospital stay and higher hospital costs. Among the main mechanisms involved, excessive sympathetic activation, oxidative stress and inflammation are fundamental elements in the pathophysiology of obstructive sleep apnea. Objectives. To evaluate the effects of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in reduction of atrial fibrillation after CABG in patients with obstructive sleep apnea. Methodological procedures: A multicenter randomized controlled study to compare the incidence of atrial fibrillation between the intervention group and the control group, both monitored seven days with Holter.
The study assesses patients with cured pulmonary tuberculosis by compulsory notification data of Uberlândia (Minas Gerais state - Brazil) from 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015. These patients will be invited by telephonic contact. After eligibility and exclusion criteria evaluation, those included will be assessed in order to know structural and functional repercussions of pulmonary tuberculosis sequelae.
The aim of this study will be to evaluate the effects of the use of manual therapy and diadynamic in muscle trigger points in the upper trapezius muscle in individuals diagnosed with shoulder impingement syndrome, unilateral shoulder as functional capacity, pain intensity and pain threshold the pressure.
