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.
This study aims to evaluate the possible effect of dexamethasone on prevention of cognitive dysfunction in the postoperative period of elderly patients undergoing to surgery under general anesthesia.
The study is prospective, open-label, randomized, crossover, with 02 treatments, 02 sequences, and 02 periods. The volunteers received, in each period, the reference or the test formulation after standardized meals.
This randomized, open-label, multi-center study will evaluate the sustained virological response, pharmacokinetics and safety of various combinations of danoprevir/ritonavir with Copegus plus RO5024048 and/or Pegasys in patients with chronic hepatitis C infection. Patients will be divided into 2 separate cohorts. Cohort A, previous partial responders, will be randomized to Groups 1-3 and cohort B, previous null responders, will be randomized to Groups 4-6. Patients in all groups will receive danoprevir 100 mg twice a day and ritonavir 100 mg twice a day for 24 weeks. In addition, Groups 1 and 4 will receive RO5024048 1000 mg twice a day and Copegus 1000 mg or 1200 mg twice a day for 24 weeks; Group 2 will receive Pegasys 180 microgram subcutaneously once weekly and Copegus 1000 mg or 1200 mg twice a day for 24 weeks; Groups 3, 5 and 6 will receive RO5024048 1000 mg twice a day, Pegasys 180 microgram subcutaneously once weekly and Copegus 1000 mg or 1200 mg twice a day for 24 weeks. In addition, patients in Group 6 will receive another 24 weeks of Pegasys plus Copegus treatment.
The aim of this research was to determine the existence of a correlation between the degree of temporomandibular dysfunction and cervical posture in different occlusal classes in adolescents. A cross-section, observational study was carried out, in which 296 adolescents took part. For the evaluation, the patients were divided into groups according to the presence and severity of the temporomandibular dysfunction, using a questionnaire and occlusal Angle classification. The posture analysis was carried out using photogrammetry and the software Alcimage® to measure the predefined angle based on the protuberances of the Spinous Process of the 7th Cervical Vertebra (C7), Manubrium of the sternum and Mentum Vertex.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a social-psychological intervention to improve anti-hypertensives adherence in primary care. Its is a pragmatic clinical trial.
The disorders that affect the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) are responsible for the diverse symptoms. Objective: To evaluate whether or not the relationship between signs or symptoms of TMD and presence of harmful habits. The investigators evaluated 244 adolescents enrolled in public school . The investigators used the questionnaire for selection of orofacial pain and temporomandibular disorders, recommended by American Academy of Orofacial Pain to assess the presence or absence of signs and symptoms of TMD.
Alcohol dependency is the most frequent addiction leading to a massive burden of both, patients health, and economy. Present therapeutic concepts suffer from limited efficacy, and thus new innovative therapies are needed. Neuroscientific studies have shown that prefrontal function in alcohol-dependent patients is impaired, leading to cognitive disturbances, and continuation of dependent behaviour. The results of pilot studies demonstrate that activation of prefrontal cortices via non-invasive brain stimulation improves cognitive performance in healthy subjects, and diminishes dependency-related behaviour in patients. The investigators aim to develop a stimulation protocol suited to induce a clinically relevant improvement of prefrontal functions in patients suffering from alcohol dependency. Therefore, the investigators will develop stimulation protocols which are able to modulate prefrontal activation for a much longer time course than those currently available, and will explore if the induced physiological alterations translate to respective cognitive improvements and reduction of addictive behaviour.
It will be an open-label, randomized, laboratory-blind, crossover study with 02 treatments, 02 sequences, and 02 periods, in which the volunteers receive, in each period, the test formulation or the reference formulation, under fed conditions.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of metronomic chemotherapy combined with trastuzumab as neoadjuvant therapy for locally advanced HER2-positive breast cancer.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether weekly paclitaxel followed by weekly doxorubicin plus daily oral cyclophosphamide without granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) is feasible in the treatment of locally advanced HER2-negative breast cancer.
