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 objective of this study is to compare the hypoalgesic effects of TENS, Interferential current and Aussie current in pressure pain threshold and sensory discomfort in healthy subjects.
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of nanosilver fluoride for controlling the growth of S. mutans present in dental plaque of children.
The aim of this study was to reheat the skin in different ethnic groups after application of cryotherapy.
INTRODUCTION: Stress urinary incontinence is a common condition in women and can be defined as the involuntary loss of urine on exertion, exercise, sneezing or coughing. This pathology causes physical discomfort and impacts the quality of life in a negative manner. Physiotherapeutic exercises is a treatment with low cost and high patient attendance. It can be applied with focus on strengthening the pelvic floor muscles or on muscular synergism. OBJECTIVE: To compare the effectiveness of Kegel exercises performed alone or performed in association with the strengthening of the muscles of the hip in the treatment of stress urinary incontinence. METHODOLOGY: The study is a randomized, blinded clinical trial. It aims at assessing objectively the strength of the pelvic floor, the improvement in the number of episodes of loss and impact on quality of life. The study will accept up to 40 women, who will be divided into two groups of physical therapy: group 1 (that will strengthen the pelvic floor muscles with Kegel exercises) and group 2 (that will perform strengthening the pelvic floor muscles with Kegel exercises associated with the strengthening of muscles of the hip). The two groups will be evaluated at the beginning and at the end of treatment.
This study evaluated the effectiveness of the Erythrina mulungu in controlling anxiety in patients undergoing bilateral extraction of asymptomatic, impacted mandibular third molars.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Benralizumab reduces the number of asthma exacerbations in patients who remain uncontrolled on medium doses of ICS-LABA.
Central venous catheter(CVC)-related infection is an inherent complication of this device that should be treated promptly. However, there are doubts about the need for the immediate withdrawal of CVC while there is still no confirmation of such infection. The aim of this study is to compare the resolution of CVC-related infection, testing two approaches: catheter´s early exchange, when the possibility of related sepsis is considered, versus the maintenance of the CVC and early antibiotic therapy until the infection is confirmed.
Contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) is an important adverse effect of percutaneous coronary interventions. Despite various efforts, very few preventive measures have been shown effective in reducing its incidence. The final volume of contrast media utilized during the procedure is a well-known independent factor affecting the occurrence of CI-AKI. Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) has been largely used as an adjunctive diagnostic tool during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). When fully explored, IVUS provides precise information for guiding the PCI strategy. IVUS allows accurate vessel and lesion sizing, determination of plaque calcification (and the need for pre-stent plaque preparation), assessment of post-stent results (including edge dissections and residual lesion, as well as stent underexpansion or incomplete apposition). Therefore, IVUS has the potential to reduce the utilization of contrast media during PCI. In the present study, we hypothesize that IVUS guidance is associated with a significant reduction in the volume of contrast media during PCI, in comparison to standard angiography-guided intervention.
This study aims to evaluate the effect of chlorhexidine digluconate (CRX) application in etched dentin on the retention of noncarious cervical lesions restorations. A randomized controlled split-mouth and blind trial will be carried out. Patients with at least two non-carious cervical lesions (NCL) will be selected. NCL will be randomly assigned according the type of teeth (incisors, canine or pre-molars) into two groups: control or experimental group (application of 2% CRX for 60 seconds after the acid etching procedure). Class V restorations will be performed out with an etch-and-rinse adhesive system (Adper Single Bond 2-3M ESPE) and a composite resin (Filtek Z350-3M ESPE) according the manufacture instructions, by previously trained operators. The restorations will be evaluated by a calibrate examiner at 1 week (baseline), and 6-month, 12-month and 24-month, using the World Dental Federation (FDI) criteria. The outcome is retention of the restoration.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a goal-directed resuscitation therapy within the first 8 hours after major abdominal cancer surgery reduces postoperative complications compared to a standard therapy.
