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.
CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Myofascial syndrome is the most frequent condition of chronic pain. The objective of the present study was to compare the analgesic action of acupuncture and trigger point injection combined with cyclobenzaprine and dipyrone. DESIGN AND SETTING: A randomized study was performed at the Pain Clinic. METHODS: Thirty patients were divided into two groups: G1 received trigger point injection of 0.25% bupivacaine (1 ml/point) twice a week, 10 mg/day cyclobenzaprine and 500 mg dipyrone every 8 h. G2 was submitted to classical and trigger point acupuncture twice a week. The patients were asked to continue physical exercise. The following parameters were evaluated: pain intensity rated on a numerical and verbal scale, quality of life before and four weeks after treatment, and quality of analgesia.
This study will be conducted in type 2 diabetic patient's to evaluate the if there is a different response of serum lipids after a standard meal (rich in saturated fatty acids) in patients who have the presence of a genetic alteration. This alteration that will be evaluated is a polymorphism, change of an amino acid in the gene of FABP2. This gene that can influence the absorption of lipids in the intestine and subjects who have the altered genotype (presence of T allele) can have an abnormal lipid profile as compared to subjects without this genotype.
This is a randomized clinical trial for evaluate the impact of a nutritional intervention in the weight control of pregnant women according to the nutritional status, and consequently, the reduction of pregnancy complications. The sample of this study will be composed by 318 pregnant women in the pre-natal care unit of the Health Center in Viamão city / Rio Grande do Sul, including women between the 10th and 25th weeks of gestation, aged up to 35 years old. The eligible pregnant women will be invited by the fieldworks to participated in the trial after be informed about the overall aims of the study. These women willing to participate will be randomly allocated to either the intervention or control group. The intervention group received specific guidelines about feeding practices appropriate to each nutritional status. Data on pregnant women will be collected through a questionnaire in both groups, and to assess the food intake, three 24-hour food recall will be applied in the interventional group and two recall in the control group, in initial and final gestational period. In all appointments pregnant women of the two groups will be weight and classified according to Body Mass Index of pre-gestational (BMI). The dietary advices will be elaborated by the author of the project and nutrition graduation students of Federal University of Health Science of Porto Alegre.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of isavuconazole in the treatment of renally impaired participants with invasive fungal infections caused by Aspergillus and participants with invasive fungal disease caused by rare fungi.
The purpose is to evaluate the effects of an investigational blood thinner, apixaban, in preventing venous thromboembolic (VTE) recurrence or death in patients who have completed their intended treatment for deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism (PE)
The purpose of the present study was to assess the effectiveness of low-level laser therapy on the reduction in pain and improvement in function in the hands of patients with rheumatoid arthritis
Primary objective: Comparison of independently assessed progression free survival (PFS) in subjects administered Bevacizumab + Temsirolimus vs. those administered Bevacizumab + Interferon-Alfa. Secondary objectives: safety, Investigator assessed PFS, objective response rate (independently assessed), and overall survival.
Study TKT024EXT was a long-term, single-arm, open-label extension of Study TKT024, a one year Phase 2/Phase 3 registration study. The primary objective of this extension study was to collect long-term safety and clinical outcome data in Mucopolysaccharidosis II (MPS II), also known as Hunter Syndrome, from the Phase 2/Phase 3 Study TKT024. All patients enrolling into this study received weekly active treatment with idursulfase, the primary dosing regimen investigated in Study TKT024. Hunter Syndrome is an X-linked recessive lysosomal storage disease caused by a deficiency of iduronate-2-sulfatase, an enzyme required to catabolize glycosaminoglycans (GAGS) in cells. As a result, GAGs accumulate in the lysosomes leading to cellular engorgement, organomegaly, tissue destruction, and organ system dysfunction. Hunter Syndrome is a rare disease with an estimated incidence of 1 in 162,000 live births.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate and determinate the functional abilities in Rett syndrome conforming to the established Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory (PEDI).
This is a clinical trial examining the vascular disrupting agent NPI-2358 combined with docetaxel in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis) is an important component of tumor growth, vascular disrupting agents are intended to target the differences between these tumor blood vessels and the blood vessels in normal tissues.
