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.
Introduction: Persistent hindfoot pains are very common and prevalent complaints in the Brazilian population. One of the treatments recommended for these conditions in the literature is the use of insoles. However, to use this resource it is necessary that the individual wear closed shoes and this is an obstacle to treatment in cities with hot climate. Thinking about an alternative treatment, the customized slippers with the corrective elements of the insoles can be an alternative to increase adherence to this type of treatment. Objective: To compare different types of hindfoot elements in insoles adapted in slippers in individuals with persistent hindfoot pain.
Cardiovascular disease is the main cause of death worldwide. Endothelial dysfunction is the first step to development of cardiovascular diseases. Endothelial dysfunction occurs due to reduction in nitric oxide, a molecule that plays an important role on vascular health. Due to important role of nitric oxide in endothelial function, several studies have evaluated the effect of its precursors, such as L-citrulline and nitrate on endothelial function parameters. The present study will evaluate the effect of L-citrulline and nitrate derived by watermelon and beetroot products, respectively, on endothelial function of young and older participants. Furthermore, we will evaluate the plasmatic amino acids, nitrate, glucose and insulin in response to ingestion of these products.
The idea that the use of a wristband can increase the grip strength is old, but without systematic scientific evidence. Most Crossfit practitioners wear wrist bands during training because it is believed that the wristband increases the grip strength of the hand. The aim of this study is to to analyze the influence of the use of the wristband on the maximum force value and on the dynamic resistance of hand hold. A simple blind randomized cross-over trial will be performed.
This online-based, observational retrospective registry aims to (i) study the rate of cardiovascular events, encompassing venous thromboembolic and arterial events, in consecutive hospitalized patients with coronavirus (Covid19), (ii) investigate the prevalent use of thromboprophylaxis, (iii) describe the use of imaging tests for the detection of cardiovascular events in patients with Covid19. This will also facilitate and constitute the basis for the conduction of interventional thromboprophylaxis studies in patients with Covid19.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of S (+) - ibuprofen compared to an active treatment for pain control in individuals with at least moderate acute mechanical low back pain.
INTRODUCTION: As this is a new disease, the short- and long-term consequences for patients with COVID-19 are still unclear. The use of sedatives, as well as prolonged rest, can lead to musculoskeletal damage, including decreased muscle strength and physical function. Thus, rehabilitation after this disease is a key component in continuing patient care. OBJECTIVE: To verify the effects of face-to-face cardiac rehabilitation and telerehabilitation on tolerance to the maximum and submaximal exercise, lung function, fatigue intensity and quality of life of COVID-19 survivors. METHODS: This is a longitudinal, intervention study. Primary outcomes will be maximum and submaximal functional capacity, intensity and impact of fatigue, while secondary outcomes will be lung function and quality of life. EXPECTED RESULTS: This work will bring important information to the scientific community and health professionals, about the best forms of intervention and its repercussions on the surviving individuals of COVID-19.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and reactogenicity of Ad26.COV2.S administered intramuscularly (IM) as a 1-dose schedule at the standard dose level in adult participants during the second and/or third trimester of pregnancy and (potentially) post-partum; to assess the humoral immune response in peripheral blood of adult participants to Ad26.COV2.S administered IM as a 1-dose schedule during the second and/or third trimester of pregnancy, 28 days after vaccination.
This study aims to test the combined effects of different loading protocols and surgical approaches on clinical and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) following the use of four mini implants for mandibular overdenture retention. The main study hypotheses are: 1. There are significant improvements in PROMs following implant intervention compared to baseline measures; 2. Immediately loaded mini implants have similar failure rates compared to mini implants receiving a delayed 6-week protocol. 3. Flapless surgery has similar post-insertion outcomes compared to flapped surgery.
Multicenter Nationwide Study for Analysis of the Potential Impact in Clinical Practice of Early Exclusion Protocols for Acute Myocardial Infarction with High Sensitivity Troponin T
The objective of this randomized, double-blind clinical trial is to evaluate the clinical performance of non-carious cervicals adhesive restorations using three self-etching adhesives containing HEMA and 10-MDP monomers.
