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.
The purpose of this research study is to assess the clinical effectiveness of a minimally invasive alveolar microperforation procedure to achieve accelerated tooth movement in patients undergoing orthodontic treatment for orthognathic surgery. "Accelerated tooth movement" means that Microperforation technique may help complete orthodontic treatment sooner than would be expected in conventional orthodontic treatment
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of teriparatide with those of alendronate on spine bone mineral density (BMD) and other osteoporosis factors in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of two exercise protocols on post-exercise blood pressure versus a control group in elderly hypertensive men. Participants are allocated to all groups: control group and two experimental exercise protocols, in a random order. In the control group, participants remain resting sitting, and, in the exercise protocols, participants practice exercise bouts of aerobic exercise or a combination of resistance and aerobic exercises. In order to standardize baseline conditions, before the sessions subjects remain sitting quietly for 20 minutes. After each exercise protocol, participants have 60 minutes for recovery and, simultaneously, they have BP measured every 5 minutes. After the exercise sessions or control, an equipment for 24 hours ambulatory BP monitoring is installed in every participant.
The purpose of this study is to determine if Apixaban is safer than a Vitamin K Antagonist given for 6 months in terms of bleeding in patients with an irregular heart beat (atrial fibrillation) and a recent heart attack or a recent procedure to open up a blood vessel in the heart. All patients would also be taking a class of medicines called P2Y12 inhibitors (such as clopidogrel/Plavix) and be treated for up to 6 months. The primary focus will be a comparison of the bleeding risk of Apixaban, with or without aspirin, versus a Vitamin K antagonist, such as warfarin, with or without aspirin.
Primary Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of dupilumab (SAR231893 / REGN668) in participants with persistent asthma. Secondary Objectives: - To evaluate the safety and tolerability of dupilumab. - To evaluate the effect of dupilumab on improving participant-reported outcomes including health-related quality of life. - To evaluate dupilumab systemic exposure and incidence of anti-drug antibodies.
Inflammatory markers have been analyzed in several diseases of unknown etiology, in the expectation of increasing therapeutic perspectives. This possibility arises from the different levels of tissue injury with low-grade chronic inflammation that have been observed in studies in which the markers were not evaluated traditionally, and today have influenced clinical management. The investigators aimed, therefore, to evaluate the inflammatory markers in patients with AIS before and after aerobic and combined exercise training.
rFSH and HMG are both used to controlled ovarian stimulation for patients submitted to IVF. However, there is a debate in the literature which one is better to induce ovulation in patients receiving GnRH antagonist to block premature Luteinizing Hormone (LH) secretion. The investigators propose a Randomized Clinical Trial (RCT) to investigate the differences among recombinant FSH and HMG in patients submitted to IVF using GnRH antagonists.
The primary objective of this study is to determine the impact of the shock wave application in renal transplant patients with diagnosis of erectile dysfunction. Secondary objectives are to assess the effects of therapy on quality of life and depression. It is expected that with the study is defined the usefulness of the therapy and the dissemination of knowledge generated for change in clinical management in renal transplant patients with erectile dysfunction.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether cell therapy with autologous adult stem cells (from bone marrow and/or fat) is safe in the treatment of advanced Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).
The purpose of this study is to determine if the Herbst appliance with indirect skeletal anchorage in mini-implants is capable of preventing excessive inclination of the lower incisors at the end of the treatment when compared to the Herbst appliance with dental anchorage and Twin-Block appliances in patients with Class II malocclusion and overjet ≥ 6 mm.
