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.
This clinical trial evaluated the comparative bioavailability of two injectable suspension formulations of medroxyprogesterone acetate + estradiol cypionate, a test (Depomês®, 25 mg/mL medroxyprogesterone acetate + 5 mg/mL estradiol cypionate, Biolab Sanus Farmacêutica Ltda.) and a reference formulation (Cyclofemina®, 25 mg/0.5 mL medroxyprogesterone acetate + 5 mg/0.5 mL estradiol cypionate, Millet Roux Ltda.) in healthy female volunteers after a single intramuscular dose administration. In addition, this study also evaluated the safety and tolerability of these drugs.
In dentistry, one of the most common surgical procedures is the removal of included third molars. This surgery generates great morbidity to patients for causing pain, edema and trismus due to surgical trauma. The use of photobiomodulation (PBM) (low-power laser or light emitting diode - LED) in the postoperative of these procedures has shown excellent results in the control of postoperative sequelae. The objective of the present study is to evaluate the effectiveness of PBM with LED in the control of pain, facial edema, trismus and quality of life resulting from the extraction of retained lower third molars. A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial involving 34 adult patients, who search the Discipline of Buccomaxillofacial Surgery and Traumatology (CTBMF) II of FO-UFRGS for the removal of included lower third molars will be conducted. Before and after the surgeries, the facial and mouth opening measurements of all patients will be done. Immediately after the surgeries, the patients will be randomized by means of envelopes in two groups. In the LED group the patients will receive daily LED applications (intra oral with 660nm and extra oral with 850nm) from the immediate postoperative to 7 days after the surgical procedure. In the control group the patients will be treated in the same way as in the LED group, however, the person in charge of the application will simulate intraoral and extraoral irradiation with the LED kept off. Pain (EVA and NRS-101), postoperative edema, trismus, temperature, dysphagia and hematomas, as well as the impact of the surgical procedure on patients' quality of life will be evaluated after 1, 2, 5 and 7 days. For the analysis of the oral health impact profile (OHIP-14 Questionnaire) and anxiety analysis (Beck anxiety inventory -BAI) the questionnaires will be applied preoperatively and 7 days after treatment. Initial descriptive analyzes will be performed considering all variables measured in the study, both quantitative (mean and standard deviation) and qualitative (frequencies and percentages). Later, the appropriate statistical tests will be applied for each specific analysis. In all tests, the significance level of 5% probability or the corresponding p-value will be adopted. All analyzes will be performed using the statistical software SAS for Windows, version 9.1.3.
This trial evaluated the pharmacokinetic interaction between fixed doses of lidocaine (2.5%), prilocaine (2.5%) or the association of both (Nanorap®) in healthy volunteers. The drug safety and tolerability was also evaluated.
This is a randomized clinical trial, double-blind, placebo-controlled study with the goal to assess the influence of using N-AcetylCysteyn (NAC) for prevention of AKI (Acute Kidney Injury) in post operatory of valve replacement until their discharge or death
INTRODUCTION: Mental practice (MP) and action observation (AO) are characterized as cognitive strategies that contribute to motor planning and learning in diverse populations. Individuals with Parkinson's Disease (PD) are recent targets, since, with disease progression, they need external strategies to aid in motor organization. However, there is still no evidence of the efficacy of MP and AO in the gait of PD. OBJECTIVES: To compare the effects of physical practice preceded by MP and AO on gait performance in individuals with Idiopathic PD (IPD). METHODS: A controlled, randomized, single-blind clinical trial with 66 individuals with IPD, aged between 50 and 75 years, without cognitive deficit and in the moderate phase of the disease will be performed. For the inclusion and characterization of the sample, the following instruments / equipment will be used: (1) Identification form (sociodemographic, clinical and anthropometric aspects); (2) Mini Mental State Examination and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (cognitive level); (3) Hoehn and Yahr Scale (level of physical disability); (4) Revised Movement Imagery Questionnaire (sharpness of the mental image); (5) Qualisys Motion Capture Systems® (gait kinematics); (6) Emotiv Epoc + (electroencephalographic activity); (7) Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale - UPDRS (motor function and activities of daily living); (8) Timed Up and Go Test - TUG Test (mobility); and (9) Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire - PDQ-39 (quality of life).Participants included will be randomly assigned to two groups: experimental (n = 33), who will participate in MP + AO and physical gait practice; and control group (n = 33), who will participate only in the physical practice of gait. Both groups will be submitted to 12 training sessions (3x / week, for 4 weeks) and will be reevaluated 10 minutes, 7 days and 30 days after the last training session with respect to items (4), (5), (6) and (8) of the evaluation. Primary outcomes will be velocity, stride length and range of motion of the hip and the secondary ones will be sharpness of the mental image, electroencephalographic activity and performance in the TUG Test. The normality in the data distribution will be verified through the Shapiro-Wilk test. The "t" test and the Mann-Whitney test will be used to verify the homogeneity of the groups in the baseline. A repeated measures ANOVA will verify the interaction between the groups at the moments observed.
The investigators developed a web-based survey to assess knowledge, attitudes and practice of health care professionals about patient-ventilator asynchrony.
This is a randomized, controlled multicenter clinical trial. The purpose of this study is to compare the continuous infusion of vancomycin with intermittent infusion regarding the effectiveness to reach the target serum level and the relationship between infusion type and nephrotoxicity in critically ill patients.
This is a Randomized Controlled Trial . The purpose of this study is to assess the hypothesis that whether a high protein diet combined with a physical activity protocol in surgical cancer patients admitted to the ICU in the post operative period is associated with better physical function at the hospital discharge as well as a better quality of life.
The aim of this study is through a randomized clinical trial, double blind, splithmouth, evaluate the success rate (retation rate and dental sensibility) of temporary direct restorations in vital teeth. The composition of the temporary direct restoration (based on Zinc-Oxide with Eugenol; and mineral trioxide aggregate). Data will be collected, tabulated and submitted to statistical analysis.
The aim of this study is through a randomized clinical trial, double blind, split-mouth, evaluate the success rate (retention rate and dental sensibility) of temporary dental crown cemented on vital teeth. The composition of the cement (Based on calcium hydroxide; and based on mineral trioxide aggregate) will be evaluated. Data will be collected, tabulated and submitted to statistical analysis.
