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.
This is a survey which will be performed on a specific day (the "Screening Day") in Latin American ICUs. In eligible patients who receive enteral or parenteral nutrition a retrospective calculation of the "caloric deficit" will be performed. The caloric deficit is the difference between energy target of each patient and actually administered calories.
Dysfunctions of the lower urinary tract are non-motor symptoms common engines in Parkinson's disease (PD). Urodynamic changes in PD include overactive bladder (OB), characterized by urgency with or without urge incontinence , usually with frequency and nocturia . The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and effectiveness of the treatment of OB in patients with PD with the use of a specific treatment: Posterior Tibial Nerve Electrostimulation (PTNE).
National clinical trials, phase III, randomized, open, parallel, study of superiority, in which three hundred thirty-six (336) participants of both sexes, aged between 18 and 65 years will be randomly allocated to one of two treatment groups. The Group 01 will use Cefalium® and group 02 will use Tylenol®.
Vitamin D plays an essential role in calcium homeostasis and is critical for bone formation and remodeling.
Perineal trauma during childbirth is an important etiological factor of various undesirable complications to women's health, with emphasis on pelvic floor dysfunction. Thus, methods that preserve the perineal integrity have been a challenge to practices among health professionals working in the gravid-puerperal cycle assistance. Despite the remarkable importance of beneficial effects of pelvic floor preparation prior to vaginal birth on prevention of perineal trauma, there are few studies in the literature that point which is the best method to be used to reduce the chances of perineal lesions. Therefore, there is need for more studies to compare existing methods. The objective this present study is to compare the effects of perineal massage, the vaginal dilator and training of the muscles of the pelvic floor to prepare the pelvic floor for vaginal birth on perineal integrity of primiparous. Primigravidae women are selected over 18 years, from the 32th gestational week and wishing to have a vaginal birth. Women will be randomly allocated into 3 groups: perineal massage, vaginal dilator and pelvic floor muscles training and should practice the technique from the 34th week of pregnancy until the time of delivery. All the women will be subject to clinical evaluation, functional assessment of pelvic floor and perineal integrity assessment prior to the beginning of the practice of the technique and between 45 and 60 days after childbirth.
To evaluate the no-inferiority of the ketoconazole20mg/g and betamethasone dipropionate 0.64 mg/g association (Candicort®) cream versus clotrimazole 10mg and dexamethasone acetate 0.443 mg/g association (Baycuten N®) cream, general relief of signs and symptoms (erythema, maceration, peeling, blistering / papules / pustules, itching and burning / stinging) 06 (± 1) days after onset treatment.
This study evaluates the non-inferiority of Suppository Transpulmin and Suppository Guaiacol compared to Transpulmin Syrup in the treatment of cough with secretion of infectious origin in children between two and six years old. One third of participants will receive Suppository Transpulmin, the other one third will receive Suppository Guaiacol and the last one third will receive Transpulmin Syrup.
Smoking has been considered the most important risk factor for periodontitis among all lifestyle factors. Fewer studies evaluated longitudinal clinical and microbiological status of smokers undergoing periodontal maintenance therapy and controversial results were found. This study will evaluate clinical conditions and prevalence of putative periodontopathogens and Candida spp. in smokers and non-smokers at baseline and after 3 and 6 months of nonsurgical periodontal therapy. Clinical parameters, including oral status assessed using Plaque Index (PI), Bleeding On Probe (BOP), Pocket Probing Depth (PPD), Gingival Recession (GR), Clinical Attachment Level (CAL) will be measured in smokers and non-smokers patients with chronic periodontitis. Samples of subgingival biofilm will be obtained from the periodontal pockets and furcation sites and submitted to phenol-chloroform DNA extraction and Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) analysis using specific primers for Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, Porphyromonas gingivalis, Tannerella forsythia, Prevotella intermedia, Campylobacter rectus, Candida albicans, Candida glabrata, Candida tropicalis and Candida dublinienses.

The aim of this pilot study was to investigate whether the use of a multimodal protocol of preoperative care plus preoperative immune nutrition would decrease the length of stay and acute phase inflammation in patients submitted to total hip arthroplasty (THA). The study was designed to be randomized and controlled, but not double blind. The patients were randomized to receive either preoperative care based on evidence plus immune nutrition for 5 days prior to surgery (Acerto group) or traditional preoperative care (control group). Main endpoints were length of stay and acute-phase postoperative response
