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 aim of this study is to determinate the influence of an alternative adhesive application protocol (i.e. consecutive application of an extra adhesive layer)on restoration longevity in primary molars.
This is a Monocentric, Prospective, Randomized, Open-label, Comparative, Phase IV Study, to compare the effects of Vildagliptin and Gliclazide MR on Markers of Bone Remodeling, Bone Mineral Density and Glycemic Variability in Postmenopausal Women with Type 2 Diabetes. A total of 38 women with documented Type 2 Diabetes and menopause will be enrolled. The active treatment will include a 50 mg dose of vildagliptin OD twice a day. As comparator, gliclazide MR will be administered at a dose of 60 to 120 mg OD once a day.
It was proposed in this study to evaluate the prevalence of TMD signs and symptoms in State University of West of Parana's dental students with natural dentition, in patients with removable partial dentures and double complete dentures.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the vascular effects of tibolone on climateric women measured by flow-mediated evaluation of the brachial artery using high resolution ultrasound and compare to placebo.
The purpose of this study is to determine if ganetespib (STA-9090) is effective in the treatment of patients with HER2+ or triple negative breast cancer who have not received prior systemic treatment in the metastatic setting.
Objectives: The aims of the present study were to compare ultrasound on asymptomatic feet of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and normal controls, determine the association between ultrasound and global disease activity, function and goniometric measures in patients with RA and determine the correlation between ultrasound and radiography in the detection of bone erosion. Methods: The foot joints (talocrural, talocalcaneal, talonavicular, naviculocuneiform, calcaneocuboid, 5th tarsometatarsal and 1st to 5th metatarsophalangeal [MTP] joints) of 50 healthy subjects and 50 patients with RA (all with asymptomatic feet) were evaluated bilaterally regarding quantitative/semi-quantitative synovitis, semi-quantitative Power Doppler (PD) signals and erosion using ultrasound. Statistical significance was set to 5%.
Clonidine, an agonist for alfa2 pre-synaptic, has been shown to be an effective adjuvant therapy for acute postoperative pain and has been shown an effect in sedative, intra-ocular and blood pressure and arrhythmias.The objective of this study is evaluating the analgesic effect of clonidine and its repercussion on arterial and intraocular pressure and arrhythmias for cataract surgery.
The primary objective of the study is to compare in a real-world setting the efficacy of traditional training (today's guideline, vigorously or moderate exercise) and amount of aerobic interval training (1-AIT) in reduction of risk factors constituting metabolic syndrome. The secondary objective is to compare the efficacy of traditional moderate training (today's guideline) and amount of aerobic interval training (1-AIT vs. 4-AIT) in improving aerobic capacity, cardiovascular function, skeletal muscle contractile function, skeletal muscle energy metabolism, left ventricle systolic and diastolic function at rest and right ventricular function. The investigators hypothesized that aerobic interval training would reverse features of the metabolic syndrome more than traditional training.
Cirrhotic cardiomyopathy is defined as a chronic cardiac dysfunction in patients with cirrhosis. It is suspected that this specific cardiac dysfunction contributes to the onset of complications in liver disease. The purpose of this prospective, randomized trial is to determine whether metoprolol succinate can revert cardiac dysfunction secondary to cirrhosis (cirrhotic cardiomyopathy), and prevent complications (renal dysfunction, mortality). A total of 100 patients with cirrhotic cardiomyopathy will be randomized (Group R) to receive metoprolol succinate or placebo; other 25 patients without cirrhotic cardiomyopathy (Group F) will only be followed up without medication. All patients will be evaluated in the beginning and again after six months. The assessment protocol includes clinical evaluation, electrocardiogram, echocardiogram, laboratory analysis and life quality questionaire. The end points will be cardiac remodeling, electrophysiologic changes, sympathetic activity, laboratory issue changes, renal function, quality of life, and mortality.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether zolendronic acid, a third generation bisphosphonate, is effective in preventing bone loss in the first year after kidney transplantation.
