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 investigators hypothesized that an eight-week collective group exercise program would improve pain, quality of life and functional capacity in patients with knee osteoarthritis (KOA) compared with those receiving no exercise intervention.
This trial was conducted in Africa, Asia, Europe, North and South America. The aim of the trial was to compare efficacy and safety of insulin degludec and insulin glargine in insulin naïve subjects with type 2 diabetes.
Regardless of the selected technique for dental impression, gingival displacement is an essential procedure specially when making impressions of subgingival finishing lines, because a moisture-free sulcus is a requirement for an effective impression. The objective of this randomized clinical study is to evaluate the efficacy of the conventional and cordless gingival displacement (GD) techniques.
Eighteen patients were given a dose of 2g Cefazolin in anesthetic induction, supplemented with 1g delivered through continuous infusion during surgery. Adipose samples, obtained at the beginning and end of surgery, were analyzed using high performance liquid chromatography. Some published studies suggest that the dose of 2g does not supply the minimum inhibitory concentration for principal causal agents of surgical site infection. To determine the concentration of Cefazolin in adipose tissue of patients undergoing bariatric surgery and to evaluate the relationship between concentrations obtained and body mass index (BMI).
The RESTORE II clinical trial is intended to assess safety and performance of the ReZolve2 Bioresorbable Coronary Scaffold in native coronary arteries.
This open-label, multicenter, 3-period, fixed-sequence study will evaluate the effect of multiple oral doses of vemurafenib on the pharmacokinetics of a single oral dose of tizanidine in participants with BRAFV600 mutation-positive metastatic malignancies. Participants will receive a single oral dose of tizanidine on Day 1, vemurafenib orally twice daily on Days 2 to 21, and tizanidine and vemurafenib on Day 22. Eligible participants will have the option to continue treatment with vemurafenib as part of an extension study (NCT01739764).
The purpose of this study is to estimate Abatacept steady-state trough concentration (Cmin) at Day 113 in children and adolescents with pJIA
Muscle fatigue and muscle recovery after exercise are recent areas of research involving Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) and many factors remain unknown, such as optimal doses, power and application parameters, mechanisms of action, effects on long-term exercise and the long-term effects on skeletal muscle recovery. The present research project aims to assess the effects of long-term recovery of LLLT in skeletal muscle after exercise and identify the optimal dose application of LLLT. After defining the best dose of application, we recruited two groups which will be irradiated with different power, 100mW and 400mW in order to seek the optimal parameter of low level laser therapy in performance. The investigators believed that the Low Level Laser Therapy can delay the physiological process of muscle fatigue, reduce injury or skeletal muscle microdamage arising from physical effort and accelerate muscle recovery after exercise.
Objectives: Pathological gambling (PG) is a prevalent disorder with no approved pharmacological treatment. Previous reports suggest that topiramate could be useful in reducing impulsivity in PG, and craving in other addictions. The goal of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of topiramate combined with brief cognitive restructuring in treating PG. Methods: 38 PG patients were randomized to either topiramate (N=18) or placebo (N=20) in a 12-week double-blind trial; all patients received brief cognitive restructuring. The main outcome measures were craving, gambling behaviour, gambling cognitive distortions, impulsivity, depression and social adjustment.
The purpose of this study is to analyze the efficacy of MicroRNAs as biomarkers on the Chagas Disease prognosis. This analysis will be done through the correlation between the plasmatic levels of this molecule with functional and laboratory tests.
