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 this study is to evaluate the efficacy of treatment of radial shockwave in myofascial pain syndrome in the lumbar region compared to placebo through questionnaires and imaging exams.
This trial is conducted in Asia, Europe and North and South America. The aim of the trial is to investigate the efficacy and safety of insulin degludec/insulin aspart once daily plus insulin aspart for the remaining meals in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus.
The hypothesis of this study is that controlled release oxycodone can be safe and well tolerated for the control of postoperative pain in surgery for head and neck cancer. The primary objective is to study the safety and the incidence and severity of adverse effects, and the secondary objective is to evaluate the analgesic efficacy and identify the frequency of use of rescue medication and the prescribing physician's opinion about the quality of postoperative analgesia with oxycodone controlled release in oncologic surgery of the head and neck.
The trial objective is to compare two very different meditation protocols (Kundalini Yoga and Relaxation Response meditation techniques) to help the OCD treatment.
The contribution of this study is the unedited evaluation of the circadian autonomic profiles of resistant hypertension with and without white-coat response.
Although the accumulated knowledge regarding Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection increased substantially over the past years, several issues still deserve further investigation. The epidemiology of this disease has been changing, perhaps influenced by new immunosuppressive strategies currently used and growing and widespread use of prophylaxis. The knowledge of the CMV viral load kinetics, using a polymerase chain reaction (PCR-based assay), among renal transplant recipients not receiving any prophylactic therapy will allow the determination of risk factors for and the impact of earlier intervention on CMV infection and disease. The goal is to ultimately improve the clinical outcomes for renal transplant recipients.
Several host factors underlie the pathogenesis of the reciprocal cycle of childhood diarrhea and undernutrition in developing countries. These include intestinal inflammation, mucosal damage, and alterations in intestinal barrier function that lead to malabsorption, growth failure, and heightened susceptibility to recurrent and prolonged episodes of diarrhea. Recent studies from Northeast Brazil demonstrate the benefits of a novel alanyl-glutamine-based oral rehydration and nutrition therapy (Ala-Gln ORNT) in speeding the recovery of damaged intestinal barrier function in cell culture, animal models, patients with AIDS, and underweight children. Oral supplementation with Alanyl-Glutamine (Ala-Gln; 24g a day for 10 days) improves short-term gut integrity and weight velocity 4 months after therapy in a group of undernourished children from Northeast Brazil. Intervention and Mechanisms of Alanyl-Glutamine for Inflammation, Nutrition, and Enteropathy (IMAGINE) is a study designed to answer the following questions: 1) What is the lowest dose of Ala-Gln that improves intestinal barrier function, intestinal inflammation, and nutritional status in children at risk of underweight, wasting, or stunting? 2) What are the mechanisms by which Ala-Gln exerts these benefits?
The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety for 2 different rivaroxaban treatment strategies and one Vitamin K Antagonist (VKA) treatment strategy utilizing various combinations of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) or low-dose aspirin (ASA) or clopidogrel (or prasugrel or ticagrelor).
Carbohydrate enriched-drinks has been used as preoperative treatment up to two hours before anesthesia. These drinks are safe and are not associated to bronchial aspiration during anesthesia. The addition of protein may be beneficial for metabolic preconditioning but there is a few data in literature testing these drinks for safety. The aim of the study will be to investigate the residual gastric volume (RGV) measured during the gastroscopy with abbreviation of fast to 2h with a carbohydrate plus whey protein enriched-drink.
The aim of this study is to determine the recovery time of moderate neuromuscular blockade with sugammadex in adults pretreated with magnesium sulfate.
