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 purpose of study was to test whether rivaroxaban added to standard of care treatment, when compared to placebo, had the potential to reduce the incidence of the clinical events related to the clots and complications of the heart and brain (CV death, MI, or stroke) or the legs (acute limb ischemia or major amputation) in patients who had undergone recent procedure(s) to improve the blood flow of their legs.
This trial is conducted in Africa, Asia, Europe, North America and South America. The purpose is to compare long-term glycaemic control of insulin degludec/liraglutide (IDegLira) versus insulin glargine (IGlar) in insulin naïve subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus inadequately controlled with oral anti diabetics.
Cervical stenosis may occur in up to 19% after conization. It is a cause of infertility and amenorrhea. This study will test a new device named DUDA Device ("Dispositivo Uterino para dilatar canal endocervical") placed just after the conization, in order to evaluate the safety, efficacy and quality of life.
Our main objective will be to evaluate the chronic effects (12 weeks) of high-intensity interval training compared to moderate intensity (same total work) on reducing the symptoms of bipolar disorder, cortical changes, as well as on the VO2max. In addition, the investigators will establish what influence of gain to VO2max has on reducing symptoms.
The objective of this study is to assess the performance of acceleromyography as a method of evaluation of muscle relaxation after application of tetanus stimulation to obtain stability of responses before administration of neuromuscular blocking agents.
The aim of the present study is to assess the immediate effect of irradiation with low level laser therapy (LLLT) on the electromyographic activity of upper trapezius muscles and the amount of pain felt by patients with non-specific neck pain (NS-NP).A total of 20 patients with non-specific neck pain will be enrolled in a randomized, single-blind, crossover study. Each subject will receive two forms of treatment in random order: a single session of LLLT and placebo LLLT. In order to eliminate carry-over treatment effects, a one-week wash-out period will be respected between sessions. Surface electromyography will be used to determine nerve conduction velocity and activity in the upper trapezius muscles before and after treatment. The outcome measures will be determined by a numerical pain rating scale. Comparisons before and after irradiation with LLLT will determine the activity of the upper trapezius muscles and the level of pain. The data will be submitted to statistical tests considering a p-value of p < 0.05.
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of minimal intervention and therapeutic alliance in pain, specific and general disability, global perceived effect, empathy, credibility and expectation of improvement in patients with chronic non-specific low back pain
Introduction: immersion cold water is a recuperative strategy commonly used, however, are not yet fully understood the real effects of this technique on specific conditions. Objective: To analyze and to compare the effects of the immersion cold water during the intense post-exercise recovery, using different times and temperatures on biological, clinical and metabolic variables. Method: 105 male subjects were divided into five groups: one control group (CG) and four recoveries (G1: 5' at 9±1 degrees Celsius; G2: 5' at 14±1 degrees Celsius; G3: 15' at 9±1 degrees Celsius; G4: 15' at 14±1 degrees Celsius). The volunteers were submitted an exhaustion protocol that consisted of a program of jumps and the Wingate test. Immediately after the exhaustion protocol, volunteers were directed to a tank with water and ice, which were immersed up to the height of the anterior superior iliac spine to the recovery procedure, during which blood samples were collected for later analysis lactate and creatine kinase (CK). Variables were collected prior to the exercise, 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours after the end of it. Furthermore, the perception of pain and recovery of the lower limbs were also collected at specific moments by means respectively of the Likert scale of perceived effort and visual analogue scale pain. Appropriate statistical analysis was used to compare the groups and the moments, considering the 5% level of significance.
The purpose of this open-label, multicenter study is to assess the long term safety and efficacy of intranasal esketamine plus an oral antidepressant in participants with treatment-resistant depression (TRD).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of suprascapular nerve block guided by ultrasound combined with home exercises compared with placebo. Pain intensity, function, pressure pain threshold and goniometry were designed to be assessed in all patients.
