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: Sensory motor training (STS) is part of rehabilitation and injury prevention in individuals with chronic ankle instability (ICS). The use of footwear during SST may interfere with neuromuscular responses, but little is known about the difference in motor control response when training is applied with the use of shoes or bare feet. Objectives: To establish the effect of sensory motor training with and without sports shoes on the dynamic postural control of athletes with chronic ankle instability. Materials and Methods: The study will be performed with athletes linked to the Athletics of the State University of Londrina, aged between 18 and 30 years, both sexes, with chronic ankle instability assessed using the Cumberland Ankle Instability Tool (CAIT) questionnaire. Dynamic postural control will be evaluated in Force Platform and muscle recruitment through the electromyography of the muscles: anterior tibial, lateral and medial gastrocnemius, long fibular, gluteus maximus and gluteus medius. After the evaluation the volunteers will be randomized into two groups: 1) barefoot sensory-motor training and 2) sensory motor training with sneakers. The two groups will develop the same protocol of sensory motor training consisting of exercises, for five weeks, twice a week. At the end of the training they will be re-evaluated and the data analyzed. Expected Results: It is expected to find better postural control in the group that will perform in barefoot sensory-motor training.
This is an open-label, multicenter, extension study. Patients who are receiving clinical benefit from atezolizumab monotherapy or atezolizumab in combination with other agent(s) or comparator agent(s) during participation in a Genentech or Roche-sponsored study (the parent study), who are eligible to continue treatment and who do not have access to the study treatment locally, may continue to receive study treatment in this extension study following roll-over from the parent study.
The objective of this study will be to evaluate the effects of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) on the physical fitness of obese women It is believed that the application of these exercises helps in the improvement of inspiratory muscle performance, which should improve physical fitness and thus allow a better performance in the activities of daily living.
The purpose of this study is to determine if treatment with apalutamide plus androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) before and after radical prostatectomy (RP) with pelvic lymph node dissection (pLND) in participants with high-risk localized or locally advanced prostate cancer results in an improvement in pathological complete response (pCR) rate and metastasis-free survival (MFS) as compared to placebo plus ADT.
The purpose of this clinical study is to determine whether the addition of an oral Factor XIa Inhibitor to Aspirin and Clopidogrel is more effective than standard therapy in secondary stroke prevention.
Evaluate the correlation among the diagnostics of sleep bruxism and sleep quality obtained from the use of smartphone application (APP-Sleep Cycle®), PSG and questionnaires (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index-IQSP and Johansson).
This study evaluated the influence of the sleep bruxism (SB), awake bruxism (AB) and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) on the signs and symptoms of temporomandibular disorders (TMD).
Iliac crest autogenous bone graft is accepted as the most effective method for secondary alveolar cleft repair. However this method is associated with complications. As an alternative, mesenchymal stem cells associated with biomaterials have been used for the rehabilitation of the alveolar bone cleft of patients with cleft lip and palate. This is a RCT comparing mesenchymal stem cells obtained from autogenous deciduous dental pulp associated with biomaterials versus iliac crest autogenous bone graft for secondary alveolar cleft repair.
This is a randomized, active-controlled, open-label study of pembrolizumab (Pembro) given prior to surgery and pembrolizumab in combination with standard of care radiotherapy (with or without cisplatin), as post-surgical therapy in treatment naïve participants with newly diagnosed Stage III/IVA, resectable, locoregionally advanced, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (LA-HNSCC). Efficacy outcomes will be stratified by programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) combined positive score (CPS) status. The primary hypothesis is that pembrolizumab given before surgery and after surgery in combination with radiotherapy (with or without cisplatin) improves event-free survival compared to radiotherapy (with or without cisplatin) given after surgery alone.
Unfavorable systemic conditions condition a low resistance of the host to the virulence of the aggressive agent, causing in a periodontal disease and may lead to difficulties in the therapeutic response. The longer the duration of diabetes, it is suggested that greater severity of periodontal disease and loss of insertion. The objective of the present study will be to evaluate the clinical, microbial and immunological characteristics in diabetic subjects with chronic periodontitis submitted to non-surgical periodontal treatment. Will be 120 individuals with chronic periodontitis, including 60 type 2 diabetic subjects and 60 healthy should receive and have access to the informed consent form. Medical and dental clinical examination should be performed and evaluation microbial and immunological properties of gingival fluid and saliva respectively. Non-surgical periodontal therapy with subgingival scaling should be performed in all individuals who will be evaluated at two times: at the beginning and after 90 days of the periodontal therapy with new performing clinical exams and collecting oral samples, oral hygiene instructions will be addressed in two sessions. The data will be subjected to appropriate statistical tests and shall provide a comparison between the times. There seems to be a relationship between type 2 diabetes and periodontal disease and studies that provide the implementation of therapy are essential for clarifying the relationship.
