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.
Lurasidone HCl is a compound being developed for the treatment of schizophrenia. This clinical study is designed to test the hypothesis that lurasidone is safe and tolerable long term among clinically stable patients. The study will also assess the long term effectiveness of lurasidone as compared to an active comparator.
The purpose of this extension trial was to further evaluate the safety and tolerability of oral cladribine in subjects who have previously completed treatment within Trial 25643 (CLARITY). This trial also explored clinical benefit of prolonged 192-week versus 96-week treatment.
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of celecoxib versus sodium diclofenac in subjects with acute low back pain
To evaluate the short-term effect of acupuncture on the intraocular pressure (IOP). Methods: A randomized controlled trial. Healthy volunteers will be randomly allocated to three groups: Acupuncture group - will be submitted to a 20-minute session of acupuncture with needles inserted in specific points (Tong Zi Liao, Yang Bai and Jing Ming); Sham group - will be submitted to a 20- minute session of acupuncture with needles inserted in false points located 1 cm from true points in areas without acupuncture's meridians; and Control group - no intervention. IOP measurement by a masked investigator using Goldmann applanation tonometry immediately before the intervention, as well as 30 minutes and 24 hours after the acupuncture.
To assess the efficacy and safety of celecoxib as add-on therapy to risperidone versus risperidone alone in patients with schizophrenia
To analyze the alterations of physiologic variables in healthy sedentary women in the Shuttle Walk Test, verify the distance reached and interruption causes of the test.
This study is a phase III, double-masked, randomized, study of the efficacy and safety of VEGF Trap-Eye in patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration. Approximately 1200 patients will be randomized in Europe, Asia, Japan, Australia and South America.
CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Osteoarthritis causes pain and disability in a high percentage of elderly people. The aim of the present study was to compare the analgesic effect of intra-articular bupivacaine and morphine in patients with knee osteoarthritis. DESIGN AND SETTING: A randomized and double-blind study was performed at a Pain Clinic of São Paulo Federal University. METHODS: Thirty-nine patients with pain for more than 3 months and an intensity higher than 3 on a numerical scale (zero to 10) were included. G1 patients received 1 mg (1 ml) morphine diluted in 9 ml saline by the intra-articular route, and G2 patients received 25 mg (10 ml) 0.25% bupivacaine without epinephrine. Pain was assessed on a numerical scale and knee flexion and extension angles were measured after administration of the drugs at rest and during movement. The total amount of analgesic complementation with 500 mg paracetamol was also determined.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of maternal hydration with oral isotonic solution and water on amniotic fluid (AF) index in women with normohydramnios.
A cluster randomized field trial to evaluate the impact that training healthcare workers in healthy feeding practices has on the nutrition and health of children.
