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.
Smoking is an important public health issue. The self help books may have important motivational implications which associated with deep breath exercises could cease the habit. Goals: Verify the effectiveness of the deep breaths exercises from the self help books along with the two motivational interventions to quit smoking on the anxiety, depression and daily consumption levels. Method: The study will be both prospective and controlled. Individuals will be distributed randomly in 4 different groups: The first group will be doing the deep breath exercises, the second group will read a self help book, the third group will do both reading and exercises and the fourth group will be the control. Anxiety, depression, motivational level and the cigarettes daily consumption will be evaluated previously and after the 15 days intervention. Expected results: Decreasing in anxiety, depression and cigarette consumption plus an increase in the motivation to quit smoking.
The purpose of this study is to analyze the safety, renal function, metabolic disorders and quality of life data in patients with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis treated with endovascular infusion of bone marrow derived mononuclear cells.
This trial is conducted globally. The aim of the trial is to investigate the cardiovascular safety of oral semaglutide in subjects with type 2 diabetes.
This is an exploratory, national, single-center, open-label study, being conducted at the Institute of Education and Research of the Syrian-Lebanese Hospital in collaboration with the Radiology Institute, the Heart Institute of the Faculty of Medicine of São Paulo, Hospital São Paulo UNIFESP, and the Departments of Physics and Mathematics at the University of São Paulo in order to detect the presence of calcium flux change, tumor perfusion and electrical properties of tumor tissue when exposed to RF EMF AM by Cancer-frequency specific in patients with advanced HCC and correlate these findings with hemodynamic changes assessed by non-invasive hemodynamic measurements. This study aims to demonstrate the presence of three mechanisms (hypothesis) that could be involved in the hemodynamic changes and the specific antitumor effect induced by exposure to RF EMF AM cancer-specific frequency. This study is not intended to study a therapeutic or diagnostic procedure. For this reason, will not be considered evolutionary clinical data during and after the intervention of the study.
This is a randomized open-label trial to evaluate the efficacy of chloroquine (CQ) alone compared to chloroquine+primaquine (CQ+PQ) in the treatment of uncomplicated malaria caused by Plasmodium vivax infection in a endemic area in the westernmost part of the Amazon Basin of Brazil. The duration of follow up for evaluating CQ efficacy as a schizonticidal drug was 28 days. The duration of complete follow up to detect recurrent P. vivax infections by passive surveillance was six months. All patients in the CQ alone arm received 7 days of PQ treatment (3.5mg/kg total dose) starting on day 28 of the study follow-up.
Our research group tested the toxicity of different dye concentrations extracted from the acai fruit using a rabbit model. The dye extracted from the acai fruit in concentrations of 10% and 25% was found to be safe for vitreoretinal surgery. This initial research represented the landmark research for testing this alternative vital dye in a clinical research in humans. The aim of the present clinical trial in humans will be to test the applicability of the acai dye in the identification of the posterior hyaloid and ILM during vitreoretinal surgery in humans.
The patients were divided into two randomized groups with 24 patients per group, which were given weekly treatment for 10 weeks, one group treated with Kinesiotherapy lasting 30 minutes and the other group followed Kinesiotherapy the same protocol for another 30 minutes acupuncture using predefined points. The patients were assessed at baseline, after five weeks and at the end of 10 weeks. Responded to an evaluation form about their registration and social data. The physical examination included the assessment of shoulder range of motion, shoulder muscle strength, circumference of the upper limbs and the presence of pain. Questionnaires of quality of life, upper limb function and depression.
