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 study was designed to determine the role of antibiotics reduction mammaplasty influence surgical site infections rates.
Background: Dental caries is still a public health problem among Brazilian children and doubts still exist regarding the most effective restorative technique. The aim of this pragmatic randomized clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of single and multiple-surfaces restorations performed following the Atraumatic Restorative Treatment (ART) premises compared with Conventional Treatment (CT) in primary and permanent teeth. Methods: A total of 1,214 5-to-13 years-old children with at least one single or multiple-surface dentin caries lesion in primary or permanent molars will be selected in the public schools of Barueri-SP. The participants will be randomly divided into 2 groups: CT (Filtek Bulk Fill - 3M) and ART (Ketac Molar Easy Mix - 3M) and treated by ten untrained dentists in a dental office inside the schools. The restorations will be evaluated after 6, 12 and 24 months by an independent trained and calibrated examiner. The restoration and tooth survival, the cost-effectiveness analysis between the two groups and the operator preference of the treatment regarding the techniques will be also evaluated. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and log-rank test will be applied to the survival of restorations. All the average event rates in the two groups will be modelled and compared with a Cox proportional hazard shared frailty model since there is an operator cluster-effect. The significance level for all analyses will be 5%.
It is advocated that prolonged infusion of beta-lactamic antibiotics provides better bactericidal effect. The aim of the present study is to randomize patients a to extended cefepime infusion regimen (lasting four hours) or to a usual infusion regimen (not lasting more than thirty minutes) and evaluate the clinical efficacy of this theoretical pharmacokinetic advantage.
A randomized single blind clinical trial, with a larger sample size than previous studies , to evaluate the effectiveness of injection snoreplasty in the treatment of patients with snoring and obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) compared to oropharyngeal exercises, a low cost therapeutic modality.
The objectives of this trial are to determine whether, in critically ill patients with severe acute kidney injury (AKI), randomization to accelerated initiation of renal replacement therapy (RRT), compared to standard initiation, leads to: 1. Improved survival (primary outcome); and 2. Recovery of kidney function (principal secondary outcome), defined as independence from RRT at 90 days
This is a two-centers, open label, prospective, randomized, noninferiority controlled trial with cost-effectiveness analysis to verify if is non inferior to remove peripheral intravenous catheter according to clinical signs in relation to every 96 hours.
Phase III randomized clinical trial of lurbinectedin (PM01183)/doxorubicin (DOX) versus cyclophosphamide (CTX), doxorubicin (DOX) and vincristine (VCR) (CAV) or topotecan as treatment in patients with small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) who failed one prior platinum-containing line.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of the application of Expiratory Positive Airway Pressure (EPAP) on Dynamic Hyperinflation, dyspnea and exercise tolerance in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).
The effect of anti-inflammatory substances on the dynamics of the fetal ductus arteriosus is well documented, but the anti-inflammatory property of polyunsaturated fatty acid omega-3 about changing this dynamic is not established. This study evaluate the relationship between supplementation of omega-3 in the dynamics of the fetal ductus arteriosus in the third trimester. Women with gestational between 28 to 32 weeks will receive capsules of omega-3 or placebo, to be consumed daily for 3 weeks.
The aim of this study is to investigate the motor and visual cortex excitability in response to visual stimulation of migraineurs with and without aura compared to healthy individuals. For this purpose, electrical cortical activity of migraineurs will be compared to healthy volunteers.
