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 was compare the efficacy of two exercise programs - the first consisting of balance training and muscle strength and the second consisting of balance training and muscle stretching exercises - to improve postural control in elderly women with osteoporosis.
The hypothesis is that a physical therapy intervention for foot and ankle of diabetic neuropathic individuals would affect positively the way they walk, lowering the harmful forces that these segments receive, that are associated mainly with lower range of movement, muscle weakness and loss of sensation. The participants will be randomly assigned into control group (regular treatment prescribed by their medical group) or into treatment group, that will receive 12 weeks of physical therapy intervention, twice a week, for 45 minutes each session. This will aim for increasing foot and ankle range of movement, muscle strength and improving sensory inputs.
The purpose of this SLE study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of two different doses of LY2127399 administered in addition to standard of care therapy in participants with active SLE.
Stress hyperglycemia during myocardial infarction (MI) is related to mortality at short and long term. Recent studies, however, revealed that chronic statin treatment may decrease both insulin sensitivity and secretion immediately after statin therapy initiation. This study aim was to investigate the dose-dependent effect of statins on insulin sensitivity in patients in the acute phase of MI.
The purpose of this study is to determine if treatment with paclitaxel plus AMG 386 is superior to paclitaxel plus placebo in women with recurrent partially platinum sensitive or resistant epithelial ovarian cancer, primary peritoneal cancer or fallopian tube cancer. AMG 386 is a man-made medication that is designed to stop the development of blood vessels in cancer tissues. Cancer tissues rely on the development of new blood vessels, a process called angiogenesis, to obtain a supply of oxygen and nutrients to grow.
Primary Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of the association Lantus (once-a-day, od) Apidra (thrice-a-day, tid) in terms of change HbA1c from baseline to end of study (week 24), in patients with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM). Secondary Objectives: To evaluate: - The change of hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) from baseline to week 12 - The percentage of patients with HbA1c < 7% at week 12 and week 24 - The FBG and the 7-point self monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) at baseline, week 12 and week 24 - The daily dose for both insulin glulisine insulin glargine at baseline, week 12 and week 24 - The incidence of symptomatic hypoglycemias - Adverse events
Primary Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of an intensive insulin regimen with insulin glargine and insulin glulisine in terms of change in Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) level from week 12 (visit 7) to week 24 (visit 10). Secondary Objectives: 1. Percentage of patients with HbA1c < 7% at week 24. 2. Percentage of patients with HbA1c < 7% and no symptomatic nocturnal hypoglycemia event at week 24. 3. Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) and 7-point Self Monitoring of Blood Glucose (SMBG) at week 0, week 12 and week 24. 4. Doses of insulin glargine and insulin glulisine: the daily dose (U) and the daily dose / kg (U/kg) will be calculated at week 24. 5. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure, heart rate, weight change will be measured at week 0, week 12 and week 24. 6. Number of patients suffering hypoglycemias (asymptomatic, symptomatic, nocturnal symptomatic, severe and nocturnal severe) will be evaluated during the treatment period. 7-Adverse events.
The primary objective will be to compare the formulations regarding their impact on the pulmonary function of persistent asthma patients and the secondary objective will be the clinical control of the disease's symptoms.
The primary objective will be to compare the impact of the study formulations on pulmonary function in persistent asthma carriers.
Evaluate the effectiveness of the use of a 24% sucrose solution for pain management of preterm infants during endotracheal suctioning.
