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 based on method Utstein, registering all recommended items of that model, in addition to adding more information, characterizing this way using a template Utstein modified for the epidemiology of PCR-hospital in Brazil. Objectives: establish a registry of patients suffering from respiratory (PCR)-hospital to assess demographic and clinical variables such as morbidity, mortality and standard practice in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). In addition, assess independent predictors associated with survival in several times and survival curves.
The aim of this study was to evaluate safety and therapeutic response to micropulse diode 810nm laser treatment in patients with chronic central serous chorioretinopathy.
- The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of Neuro Occlusal Rehabilitation (RNO) in patients with peripheral facial palsy (PFP) disease, noting the decrease in symptoms of masticatory dysfunction. - According to Carvalho (2009) patients with PFP have chronic unilateral masticatory preference. Santos et al. (2009) in the same year noted that these conditions can lead to problems with temporomandibular disorder. - Hypothesis- known that performing occlusal adjustment in these patients with chronic PFP, ensuring a maximum of dental contacts and a final stop of the masticatory cycle stable, providing a balanced occlusion. - dental cleaning was performed in two groups for the blind study - visual analog scale -To assess the quality of the oral functions of these patients, the investigators applied the visual analog scale(VAS) and statistically evaluated the degree of satisfaction regarding the functions of oro facial in relation to mastication and temporomandibular dysfunction. - gnathostatic models were made in the treatment group in the first and last query. - occlusal adjustment in treatment group.In the group treated occlusal adjustment was made in the teeth and applied a new (VAS) before and after treatment. The RNO, is defined as a part of medicine that operates in stomatology occlusal plane as a guide to a harmonious development of the face, chewing facilitating bilateral and alternating. (Planas, 1997). It works through selective grinding on the occlusal platform, providing an increased number of dental contacts.
Herpes Zoster is an infection that affects part of the nervous system caused by Varicella Zoster Virus. Herpes Zoster manifests as vesicular eruption in the dermatome, often associated with significant pain. There are effective oral prescription antiviral medicines available to reduce the discomfort of symptoms as famciclovir and aciclovir. This is a phase III, multicenter, randomized, parallel-group study to compare the efficacy and safety of treatment with Famciclovir (500 mg) comparing to Aciclovir (400 mg) in patients with Herpes Zoster.
To verify the occurrence of Spontaneous Otoacoustic Emissions (SOAE) in neonates at term and preterm infants who had transient otoacoustic emissions and verify if the presence of response is related to gestational age, gender or risk factors for hearing loss.
This research investigates the use of autologous bone marrow stem cells in patients with spinal cord injury.
The Common Mental Disorders (CMD) refer to health states involving non-psychotic psychiatric symptoms. Part of this broad diagnostic category, symptoms such as difficulty concentrating, forgetfulness, insomnia, fatigue, irritability, feelings of worthlessness, somatic complaints, etc. The CMD has a big social impact, and its prevalence in the general population is 25% and graduate students in health care reaches 40%. The Bach´s Flower Remedies are considered a complementary therapy approved and recommended by World Health Organization and by the Brazilian Ministry of Health and in his theory it has great spiritual nature. In addition, international scientific research have suggested that the strengthening of spiritual well-being can help significantly and positively promoting mental health. This project aims to assess the relationship between treatment with Bach´s Flower Remedies and Spiritual well-being of people with Common Mental Disorders in undergraduate health students of a university located in São José dos Campos, state of São Paulo, Brazil. This research presents a quantitative and qualitative methodology, experimental clinical trial, triple blind. The treatment will take place with two groups of forty people, the group of treatment and the placebo´s. The trial will happen in six sessions at intervals of 30 days, totaling eight months of treatment. Statistical analysis will be used chi-square or Fisher exact test to study the association between the scale of spiritual well-being and the use of Bach Flowers for each time point (3 times). To compare the evolution of the results (scales) during the study will set a model for ordinal data with repeated measurements over time. For these statistical tests is assumed a significance level of 5% (p < 0.005).
The purpose of this study was to determine whether asthma control and reduced bronchial responsiveness could be achieved and maintained at a lower dose of inhaled corticosteroids with ADVAIR DISKUS BID or FP BID in adult and adolescent patients with persistent asthma
The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy of a treatment with TMC435 in combination with peginterferon alfa-2a and ribavirin in patients who did not clear their hepatitis C infection with peginterferon alfa-2a and ribavirin alone within a previous trial conducted by Tibotec, or who participated in Tibotec trials in which antivirals directed against hepatitis C virus (HCV) were evaluated for short periods of time.
Metered dose inhalers with spacers are devices capable of providing higher rates of lung deposition of drugs such as beta agonists when compared to conventional nebulizers, but there is no consensus about the optimal dose when this is the device of choice and there is evidence that younger children need proportionally higher doses of albuterol (in μg/kg) when compared to older children. Other factors that may interfere with response to albuterol treatment include the genetics of the beta adrenergic receptor (ADRβ2) and infectious etiology of the wheezing attack. This study will assess the effectiveness of a dose regimen that prioritizes higher doses of albuterol, with doses in μg/kg higher for younger children. Security of this new dosing regimen will be assessed by monitoring clinical side effects and serum levels of albuterol, but the investigators will also examine the presence of 12 different respiratory viruses in these patients and evaluate the influence of ADRβ2 receptor genetics in the response to albuterol. The primary outcome measure will be the need for hospitalization. Secondary outcomes will include a change in clinical score, respiratory rate and forced expiratory volume in the first second, the need for additional treatments and length of stay in the emergency room for those not hospitalized.
