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.
Introduction: The Parkinson is one of the most common degenerative diseases of the central nervous system , mainly characterized by resting tremor , rigidity, akinesia and postural instability , also featuring the autonomic modulation of heart rate , which can lead to reduced frequency variability heart . Some activities may modify the modulation , including rehabilitation using virtual reality. Method: The research is interventional type , quantity and prospective, where volunteers were chosen for inclusion and exclusion criteria and divided into two groups , Control and Parkinson's, where they underwent 24 sections with virtual reality physiotherapy three times a week . Analysis of the autonomic modulation of heart rate was performed before and after the rehabilitation program with the frequency meter Polar brand. Statistical analysis was performed in 5.2 Biostat program with Shapiro- Wilk test to verify the normality , followed by t test to compare the data.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of abemaciclib plus trastuzumab with or without fulvestrant versus trastuzumab plus physicians choice standard of care chemotherapy in women with hormone receptor positive (HR+), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 positive (HER2+) locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer after prior exposure to at least two HER2-directed therapies for advanced disease.
To investigate if resistance training exercises performed twice a week with or without gym equipment assistance in a 12-week period could improve balance in patients with Parkinson Disease (PD). Methods: Sixty three patients with idiopathic PD (Hoehn and Yahr stage II - III) and preserved cognitive function will participate in this study. Patients will be randomized among three intervention groups: resistance training with free weights, resistance training with gym equipment and control group. Investigators will use static platform balance variables to assess the primary end-point outcome measures. For the secondary outcomes measures, most common clinical functional balances tests for PD will be applied: Berg Balance Scale (BBS), Mini-BESTest - Balance Evaluation (Mini-BESTest), Timed Up and Go test (TUG) and variables from dynamic posturography.
Thirty women with similar abdominal deformities, who had had at least one pregnancy, were randomized into three groups to undergo abdominoplasty. Plication of the anterior rectus sheath was performed in two layers with 2-0 monofilament nylon suture (control group) or in a single layer with either a continuous 2-0 monofilament nylon suture (group I) or using a continuous barbed suture (group II). Operative time was recorded. All patients underwent ultrasound examination preoperatively and at 3 weeks and 6 months postoperatively to monitor for diastasis recurrence. The force required to bring the anterior rectus sheath to the midline was measured at the supraumbilical and infraumbilical levels.
Cardiac surgery has evolved considerably after the advent of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), a feature that allowed more precision and tranquility to the heart surgeon. But their influence on exacerbation of inflammatory response can unbalance the whole homeostasis so happens surgical trauma. The attenuation of the systemic inflammatory response in major surgeries like cardiac surgery for aortic aneurysm appears to represent an important advance in reducing morbidity and mortality of these patients. Some studies suggest that inhaled anesthetics such as sevoflurane appear to play an important role in this control, but the mechanism by which this happens is still unclear. This study has the primary purpose of analyzing from a clinical study sevoflurane inhalation anesthetic can change the inflammatory response induced by CPB, significantly reducing the release of inflammatory markers, especially elastase PMN.
The spinal nerve injury in humans often results in neuropathic pain characterized by spontaneous burning pain accompanied by allodynia and hyperalgesia. In this sense, lomboisquiatalgia is a neuropathy that is characterized by narrowing the intervertebral foramen of the lumbar vertebrae, leading a lumbar chronic pain which irradiate to a lower limb, being a clinical condition of difficult treatment. Neural Mobilization is a noninvasive technique used by physiotherapists. The technique aims to restore mobility and elasticity of the peripheral nervous system by tenses which are imposed on the roots, nerves, spinal cord and their respective meninges. This technique has been standardized in basic research and has shown promising results. However, clinically, this technique lacks randomized, controlled and double blind studies. Therefore, the investigators have to evaluate the effects of Neural Mobilization technique in patients with lomboisquiatalgia. In this study the investigators will treat patients three times a week, with ten minute treatment time per session, with 25 oscillations per minute for ten sessions. Many tools will be used to assess the effects of the protocol applied, for example: evaluation sheet, visual analogue scale (VAS), quality of life assessment - WHOQOL-bref questionnaire of Roland Morris disability, oswestry index on disability (version 2.0), enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays for the measurement of cytokines in the blood tissue. In this way, the investigators can contribute and understand the mechanisms involved in the rehabilitation process.
The primary objective of this study is to describe the socio-demographic, clinical pathological, quality of life and treatment characteristics of patients diagnosed with CC in Brazil.
Quizartinib is an experimental drug. It is not approved for regular use. It can only be used in medical research. Adults might be able to join this study after bone marrow tests show they have a certain kind of blood cancer (FLT3-ITD AML). Participants will have an equal chance of receiving quizartinib or placebo along with their chemotherapy.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether neuromuscular electrical stimulation can improve exercise tolerance for patients with heart failure and continuous dobutamine use in a hospital.
Randomized clinical trial , blind for evaluators, to assess the effectiveness of a self-care program using assistive technology for treatment of hand osteoarthritis.
