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 aim of this study is to verify the efficacy of body weight-support treadmill training combined with high-frequency rTMS in improving the sensory-motor function of adult patients with chronic incomplete thoracolumbar spinal cord injury.
Ostearthritis is a great source of pain. In symptomatic hip the pain can lead the major disability and poor quality of life. Understand the musculoskeletal factores can lead to a better clinical management. The muscle strenghening of posterolateral complexo of hip is a important consideration. General Objective: Perform a Kinetic analysis 2D using na anterior wedge. Specific objective: Analyze the influence of posterolateral hip complex. Controlled clinical trial, composed by 30 individuals with and without osteoarthritis of hip e will be used a tools; Analogic Visual Scale, manual dynamometry to analyze force and kinetic analyze of gait through of Myovídeo analysis software.
Periorbital hyperchromia (POH) or periorbital hyperpigmentation, commonly known as "dark circles", is a relatively common condition and a frequent reason for dermatological consultation. It is defined as brown-colored pigmentation, ranging from light to dark, which mainly involves the lower eyelids. POH affects individuals over a wide age range, including both sexes and all ethnicities, and is associated with a tired and aged facial appearance. The most commonly affected people are those with the highest skin phototypes. Although the prevalence is similar between sexes and age groups, POH is a more frequent complaint in women. The dark circles characteristic of POH can negatively impact patients' quality of life, although it is not a condition associated with morbidity. Popularly it is believed that the poor quality of sleep is a factor responsible for its appearance, but there is no consistent data in the literature that prove this.
Extraction of lower third molars semi-included or included is one of the most performed procedures in oral surgery, and inherent to the procedure there is a postoperative inflammatory response. Among the factors most routine to this response are pain, edema and trismus. The therapy taping has advantages in its use in the physiotherapy of several specialities, leading to the correction of muscular functions, reduction of edema, muscular spasms and reduction of pain. Thus, the objective of this split mouth, randomized, blind, clinical trial will be to evaluate the postoperative period of 32 third molars in the patients from the São Paulo State University (Unesp), Institute of Science and Technology, São José dos Campos, Brasil. These evaluations will be performed on the third and seventh days after the extraction, where the patients will be analyzed by evaluator who will measure the edema, the opening of the mouth (evaluation of muscle spasm) and collect the pain table delivered in the immediate postoperative period, comparing thus, the benefit of therapeutic banding in the postoperative period of the extraction of lower third molars. The analogue pain scale (VAS), together with the Ustün et al. (2003) and the millimeter rule will be used to compare the data and the results will be submitted to descriptive statistics and compared by means of the statistical analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey test with significance level of 5%.
The aim of this proposal is to evaluate the causal relationship between Zika virus (ZIKV) infections in pregnancy and congenital malformations. The study will estimate the absolute and relative risks of congenital malformations and other adverse outcomes of pregnancy among women who become infected with ZIKV during pregnancy compared to uninfected pregnant women, also leading to further validation of the Congenital Zika Syndrome.
Rationale and Background: Since 2013, Butantan Institute has been performing passive pharmacovigilance activities related to its triavalent, fragmented and inactivated vaccine (IB TIV). Objetive: To conduct an active surveillance study focusing on the elderly and health care professionals as part of Butantan pharmacovigilance plan, while passive surveillance activities will continue. The pharmacovigilance plan, via active surveillance, is being implemented in response to WHO requirements for pre-qualification of IB TIV.
This study has the aim to assess the effectiveness of the Ai Chi method as an adjunct therapy in the treatment of children with asthma.
Stroke is one of the most important cause of mortality and disability in Brazil. The city of Matão, located in São Paulo state, with a population around 80.000 inhabitants, has conditions to develop a community-based stroke study, which can answer important questions regarding epidemiological data over the time. Therefore, the purpose of this prospective community based study is to observe trends in stroke incidence, types and sub-types of stroke, risk factors, prognosis, 30 days and one year case-fatality during a follow-up of ten years. This study offers the opportunity to conduct an epidemiological study of high quality which can obtain data to formulate public politics to reduce the social and economic impact of stroke in Brazil.
Introduction: Diabetes mellitus (DM) can be considered as one of the most important chronic diseases in the public health system, presenting a high cost for health services. Along with the increase in diagnosed cases of DM, there is a simultaneous increase in DM-related manifestations, such as peripheral diabetic neuropathy, diabetic foot ulcers and amputations. Decreased plantar sensitivity caused by microvascular complications, reduced sensation of vibration and loss of pressure sensitivity may be associated with recurrent falls due to reduced proprioceptive feedback. Although much is known about the beneficial results of physical exercise on glucose metabolism and insulin action, there are still few studies that evaluate the effects of different types of physical exercise, especially proprioceptive training, on plantar pressure, balance and posture of individuals. Objective: The present study aims to evaluate the efficacy of proprioceptive training on plantar pressure, postural balance and posture in adults with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Methods: This study is a randomized, double blind, controlled clinical trial (evaluator and statistician) with individuals of both sexes, with type 2 diabetes mellitus diagnosed for at least 3 years, over 45 years of age, that can walk without assistance or supervision of others. Two groups will be formed, the Control Group (CG) and the Trained Group (TG), and the ideal "n" will be calculated in a pilot study.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate efficacy of erdafitinib versus chemotherapy or pembrolizumab in participants with advanced urothelial cancer harboring selected fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) aberrations who have progressed after 1 or 2 prior treatments, at least 1 of which includes an anti-programmed death ligand 1(PD-[L]1) agent (cohort 1) or 1 prior treatment not containing an anti-PD-(L) 1 agent (cohort 2).
