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 study is to determine whether combination of ketamine plus electroconvulsive therapy improves depressive symptoms decreasing cognitive side effects.
This multi-center, open-label, single-arm, Phase IIIb study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of subcutaneous RoActemra/Actemra alone or in combination with non-biologic disease modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) in rheumatoid arthritis patients in Latin America with an inadequate response to non-biologic DMARDs.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether 500 mg Glucosamine Sulfate / 400 mg Chondroitin Sulfate Capsules and 1500 mg Glucosamine Sulfate / 1200 mg Chondroitin Sulfate Sachet is effective and safe compared Cosamin DS ® Capsule in Treatment of Knee Osteoarthritis.
The purpose of this study is to observe the behavior of kinematic variables in children with spastic hemiparetic cerebral palsy (SHCP), immediately after treadmill gait training with ankle loading. The children underwent a single treadmill training session with ankle loading. The kinematic parameters were assessed in three phases: before training (PRE); immediately after training (POST); and 5 minutes after the end of training (FOLLOW UP). The investigators hypothesized that the treadmill gait training with additional lower limb loading would be a disturbance capable of modifying the locomotor strategy of children with SHCP, by the increase in kinematic parameters in the swing phase of gait.
Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is a rare disease in which reduced exercise capacity is frequently present. The mechanisms applied are airflow obstruction, abnormal diffusion capacity and dynamic hyperinflation (DH). Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) has proved benefit in improving exercise tolerance, dyspnea, and quality of life in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. There are no studies evaluating the impact of PR in patients with LAM. The hypothesis under study is that PR determine improvement in exercise capacity, dyspnea, quality of life, muscle force, functional limitation and DH in these patients.
The purpose of this study is to determine if favipiravir is effective in reducing the time to resolution of influenza symptoms.
To evaluate the clinical outcomes of intrastromal corneal ring segment (ICRS) implantation to correct keratoconus on eyes with prior refractive surgery.
This global, multicenter, open-label, randomized, controlled study evaluated the efficacy and safety of atezolizumab (an anti-programmed death−ligand 1 [anti-PD-L1] antibody)compared with docetaxel in participants with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after failure with platinum-containing chemotherapy. Participants were randomized 1:1 to receive either docetaxel or atezolizumab. Treatment may continue as long as participants experienced clinical benefit as assessed by the investigator, i.e., in the absence of unacceptable toxicity or symptomatic deterioration attributed to disease progression.
The aim of the proposed controlled clinical trial is to evaluate the effect of photodynamic therapy (PDT) on the formation of volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs) from coated tongue and its action on the severity of halitosis in adolescents using different treatment protocols. HYPOTHESIS 1. - Null hypothesis: There is no change in halitosis following the use of photodynamic therapy. 2. - Experimental hypothesis: There is a reduction in halitosis following the use of photodynamic therapy alone or in combination with a tongue scraper.
Sixty patients will be randomized into three groups to receive the Kinesio taping, placebo Kinesio taping (medical adhesive tape) and control group. The group Kinesio taping receive the correct application of the method described. The placebo group will receive a medical adhesive tape. The control group will not receive any form of intervention.
