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 study consisted in the analysis of the autonomic modulation of the heart rate by the Heart Rate Variability of the participants at rest for 5 minutes, and during physical activity of 8 minutes, through a virtual reality game. The data capture was performed using a cardio-frequency meter with belt placed on the volunteer's trunk and, in addition, questionnaires, functional classification scales and personal data collection were applied.
The study will evaluate the efficacy of Ad26.COV2.S in the prevention of molecularly confirmed moderate to severe/critical coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19), as compared to placebo, in SARS-CoV-2 seronegative adults in the double-blind phase and to describe COVID-19 outcomes, safety, and immunogenicity in the different study cohorts in open-label phase.
This project has as main objective to evaluate the effects of a Mindfulness-based intervention (MBI) in the reduction of stressors, pain and quality of life of people with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis (HD). The investigators hypothesize that this program offered during hemodialysis sessions may modify the pain profile, stressors levels and may improve the quality of life by the people in hemodialysis. This is an incipient field of research at the international level and almost nonexistent in Brazil. Evidence indicates the need for MBIs to be performed during HD sessions, adapted to the context, to facilitate patient compliance, contribute to the management of the discomfort generated during HD and promote health.
This is a multi-site, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study assessing the efficacy and safety of ZnAg liquid solution in symptomatic participants with acute COVID-19 that are not hospitalized at the time of enrollment.
The primary objective of this study is to quantify the psychological, social, and emotional impact of comprehensive aesthetic treatment with a portfolio of the Sponsor's products by measuring the change in subject's satisfaction with facial appearance from baseline (before any treatment) to the final study visit
HRV is attained using a Polar RS800CX. Then, evaluated through linear, non-linear and chaotic global techniques (CGT). Forty-five male subjects were included in the DMD group and age-matched with forty-five in the healthy Typical Development (TD) control group. They were assessed for twenty minutes at rest sitting, and then five minutes whilst performing the maze task on a computer.
Double-blinded, placebo control, randomized, phase-3 clinical trial to evaluate clinical efficacy of Favipiravir in patients with mild to moderate symptoms related to COVID-19 infection
Chocolate is a widely appreciated foodstuff with historical appreciation as food from the gods. It is a rich source of (poly)phenolics, which have several proposed salutogenic effects, including neuroprotective anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and cardioprotective properties. This study will evaluate the potential salutogenic contribution of chocolate intake, to mitigate inflammatory and oxidative burden in chronic kidney disease patients.
The COVID-19 infection primarily manifests itself as a respiratory tract infection, although new evidence indicates that this disease has systemic involvement involving multiple systems including the cardiovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal, neurological, hematopoietic and immune systems. Recent studies have shown that in its pathophysiology, inflammation and thrombogenesis predominate, especially in the severe forms of COVID-19. Thus, the investigators hypothesized that the use of heparin and tocilizumab could potencially reduce inflammation and thrombogenesis in patients with severe COVID-19 infection, improving patients outcomes and survival.
Introduction: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a new pathology, declared a public health emergency by the World Health Organization, which can have negative consequences for pregnant women and their newborns. It is estimated that 1 in 5 women will develop a mental illness in the perinatal period. COVID-19 pandemic has been associated with anxiety and depression in the population. The current pandemic is a unique stressor with potentially wide-ranging consequences in the perinatal period, but little is known about the impact of COVID-19 on perinatal mental health. Thus, the objective of this study is to explore the experiences of pregnant and new mothers during the current pandemic, particularly its impact on perinatal mental health (including depression, anxiety, PTSD and psychological distress). Methods: The study design is a prospective observational study, with a baseline assessment and three follow-ups: one month; three months; and six months post baseline. This international study will be carried out in 11 European countries (Albania, Bulgaria, Cyprus, France, Greece, Israel, Malta, Portugal, Spain, Turkey, United Kingdom) Chile and Brazil. The study population will comprise pregnant women and new mothers with an infant under six months of age, covering a broad range of women across the perinatal period. Ethics and dissemination: The study and handling of the data will follow all national required data protection standards. Each researcher (or team of researchers) involved will submit the project to their local ethical committee before starting the project. Results from the project will be disseminated in peer reviewed journals and international conferences.
