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.
Study evaluating the safety and efficacy of a novel biologic in the treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus in male and female adults. Patients who qualify will be randomized to either active BMS-931699 or placebo for initially, up to 24 weeks. Patients who complete the initial 24 weeks of treatment and who are responding to therapy will have the option to continue receiving BMS-931699 as part of a long-term extension (LTE). Disease activity and safety will be assessed over the course of the study through laboratory values, various rating scales accepted in systemic lupus erythematosus studies and patient self reporting.
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the study drug known as baricitinib in participants with moderately to severely active rheumatoid arthritis who have had an inadequate response to methotrexate therapy.
Currently there are no official data concerning incidence, progression and prognosis of patients with lymphoma in Brazil.This project aims the establishment of a network of 12 Brazilian Institutions to implement a Lymphoma Registry (RELINFO) with the Brazilian National Cancer Institute (INCA) as the Coordinating Center.We intend to develop and implement a computerized system for data entry and information management of patients with lymphomas. This will enable create a virtual registry of demographic, clinical, epidemiological, histopathological, molecular, and therapeutic data. This clinical record must be linked to histopathological and molecular diagnosis, allowing institutions that work in the context of the public health system have access to new technologies for early cancer diagnosis.We expect is that this record reliably portrays the scene of lymphomas in our state and will become a management model that can be replicated at the national level. Thus, the implementation of RELINFO will strengthen the multidisciplinary diagnosis, promote the standardization of clinical record of patients with lymphomas and provide subsidies to cooperative research projects between participating institutions.
Objective: To observe the effects of exercise training on vascular endothelial function in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) alone in phase III after six months of Cardiac rehabilitation programs (CRP). Methods: the investigators contacted all patients undergoing CABG alone in period of 1 year to participate in a CRP with duration of six months with three weekly sessions of 1 and half hour of the duration. All patients underwent biochemical blood tests, muscle strength testing of one repetition maximum (1-RM test) for upper and lower limbs, 6-minute walk test (6MWT), and evaluation of endothelial function (using flow-mediated vasodilation).
Objectives: To assess the effectiveness of two recall intervals on dental caries incidence (primary outcome) in preschool children with low and moderate caries risk. The level of anxiety, oral health related quality of life (OHRQoL), time and cost (secondary outcomes) according to each interval will also be assessed. Methods: The sample will consist of 224 children between 3-5 years of age, of both genders, with low and moderate caries risk according to the clinical criteria adapted from the Secretary of Health of São Paulo. Children will be randomly allocated into two study groups: Group 1 (G1) - oral clinical examination + orientation for oral health and diet on the recall of 12 months; and Group 2 (G2) - oral clinical examination + orientation for oral health and diet on the recall of 18 months.
92 patients in treatment with intravitreal injections were randomized to 1 of 3 groups: proparacaine 0.5% drops (Group Drops), proparacaine 0.5% drops plus subconjunctival lidocaine (Group SC), or 2% lidocaine gel (Group Gel). Patients were asked to score their pain experience using a visual analogue scale (VAS), a scale of 0 to 10, immediately following the injections as well as 10 minutes, 1 hour, 6 hours and 24 hours after. Patients also graded the overall injection experience as Excellent, Very Good, Fair, Poor or Awful. The physician evaluated the patient's eye movement during intravitreal injection in three levels: none or minimal (0), not compromising the injection (1), compromising the injection (2).
Heart failure is a clinical syndrome that is the common end of several cardiac diseases with symptoms such as muscle fatigue, dyspnea and reduction of quality of life. To improve respiratory and general functional capacity of these patients, there are strategies that can be used such as inspiratory muscle training and peripheral muscle training (dynamic resistance training).
This study aims to understand metaplasticity through the association of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and physical exercise. For this purpose, the study will be separate in 2 phases: in the first phase the aim is verify the effects of physical exercise on cortical excitability. After this 1st phase two intensities of physical exercise will be chosen for the second phase. In the 2nd phase, subjects will undergo to anodal, cathodal and sham tDCS plus physical exercise.
The Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) is one of the most complex joints in the individual. It is composed of the mandibular condyle is positioned within the glenoid fossa of the temporal bone, and the articular disk that separates these two bones. The normal biomechanics of the TMJ is the concave / convex relationship between the condyles and the articular disc. The movements of the TMJ joint are: mandibular depression and elevation (opening and closing of the mouth), mandibular protrusion and retraction, and lateral deviations. The DTM is a musculoskeletal disorder of the masticatory system that affects over 25% of the population. Physical therapy can be adopted this treatment in order to relieve musculoskeletal pain, reduce inflammation and restore normal motor functions. The physical therapy interventions taken include electrotherapy, exercise therapy, acupuncture and manual therapy. Overall objective is to assess the immediate effects of previous mobilization versus flow amplitude of mandibular depression in patients with temporomandibular dysfunction. The type of study will be a randomized study of two parallel groups balanced distribution (1: 1) and double-blind. The research will be conducted in the Laboratory of Human Movement Analysis of Physiotherapy, Faculty of Medicine, Federal University of Ceará. The study population will consist of residents in the city of Fortaleza-CE individuals who voluntarily seek to participate in the study due to symptoms of TMD. Data, anthropometry, application of Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders will be collected. The physiotherapist responsible for the assessment before and after the interventions will be blind with respect to the distribution of the treatment groups. The patient will also be blind, because you will not know whether or caudal anterior mobilization was performed. Randomization codes are generated by computer using Random Allocation Software (version 1.0.0) at a ratio of 1: 1 by a researcher not involved in the data collection. These codes will be placed in sealed, opaque envelopes being numbered consecutively, which will ensure the covert allocation of study participants. Our data are considered confidential as joint property of the parties involved.
The aim this study is characterize glycemic variability using linear and nonlinear mathematical tools, under basal conditions and in response to specific protocols acute exercise that evoke oxidative stress and inflammation in healthy subjects and type 2 diabetes patients. For this purpose, the sample size will consist of 37 individuals healthy and 32 without type 2 diabetes mellitus wore a CGMS during 3 days. Participants randomly performed aerobic and eccentric sessions, both in the morning (24h after CGMS placement), and at least 7 days apart. Glucose variability was evaluated by glucose standard deviation, glucose variance, mean amplitude of glycemic excursions (MAGE), and glucose coefficient of variation (conventional methods) as well as by spectral and symbolic analysis (non-conventional methods). Physiological mechanisms altered by exercise protocols (Human Soluble Interleukin-6 and Glutathione), will be measured in blood samples.
