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.
In last years it has been demonstrated that photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) has ergogenic effects. However some key aspects, such as the potentially beneficial effects of PBMT during the detraining period still remain unknown. Therefore, the aim of this project is to evaluate the effects of PBMT applied before and after aerobic training sessions and during the detraining period.

Pregnancy relates to arterial hypertension; it is an aggravating factor for pre-existing chronic arterial hypertension or a trigger for preeclampsia in normotensive women. The gestational hypertensive disease is managed conventionally with the pregnant woman's hospitalization and/or the use of antihypertensive medications. Nevertheless, this treatment may present some risks. The investigators seek to determine whether the intervention compared to the control can reduce the increase in blood pressure that pregnant women in the transition from the 2nd to the 3rd trimester.
Observational study looking at the burden of illness in achondroplasia subjects aged 3 and above. The study will include a 3 year review of historical clinical data as well as a single point collection of questionnaire data to look at the impact on the following in individuals with achondroplasia versus a normative population: - Quality of life - Clinical burden - Healthcare resource use - Socio-economic burden - Psychosocial burden Up to 175 subjects will be enrolled in sites in Argentina, Colombia and Brazil.
Background There is little information regarding the longevity of the restored tooth, considering the health of the pulp-dentine complex, in children who do not sufficiently cooperate with dental treatment. Aim To evaluate the longevity of primary molar teeth with an occluso-proximal cavity that was treated with the selective removal of carious tissue. Design A total of 150 children were allocated to two parallel groups: group 1 (G1, n = 70, control, Ketac Molar Easymix®, 3M/ESPE, Seefeld, GE) and group 2 (G2, n = 80, test, Maxxion®, FGM, Joinville, BR). The study was double-blinded, and an operator specialized in paediatric dentistry performed the selective removal of soft dentine and the restoration of the cavity with GIC. During the follow-up periods, the teeth were evaluated via periapical radiography by two trained examiners specialized in radiology. Statistical analysis was performed using Stata 11.2 software (StataCorp, Texas, USA) and a survival curve (Kaplan-Meier).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the prevalence of 4 or more DNA-repair gene defects in a population of men with metastatic Prostate Cancer (PC) and to use the reported DNA-repair gene defects to assess biomarker eligibility for niraparib interventional studies.
Hepatic Glycogen Storage Diseases are a group of 10 serious genetic diseases that present in childhood and are characterized more frequently by the occurrence of repetitive hypoglycemia and dyslipidemia. Regarding treatment, the most commonly used strategy is the frequent administration of uncooked cornstarch, in average, every 4 hours. Although this treatment is successful, the use of large amounts of cornstarch can lead to overweight and, especially, to the decrease in the quality of life of patients and caregivers, due to the need to use the starch during the night. The search for a treatment that is widely available and that can lead to the prolongation of the fasting time, can collaborate to improve the care of these patients. The main scientific question to be answered by this research is: does sweet manioc starch, a Brazilian product, safely prolong the fasting time (with normoglycemia) of the patients as already suggested in experimental models? Main objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the use of uncooked Sweet Manioc Starch in the treatment of patients with hepatic Glycogen Storage Diseases, using as model the Glycogen Storage Diseases type Ia.
This is a single-arm, unicentric, single-stage clinical study of tamoxifen for patients with well differentiated neuroendocrine tumors and radiological progression with positive (> 1 percent) HR (estrogen and / or progesterone) expression by IHC. It will evaluate if Tamoxifen exerts antitumor action in patients with well differentiated NET and positive for the expression of HR, estrogen and / or progesterone.
Improving trunk muscle strength and endurance is one of the many goals to be achieved in rehabilitation protocols for a variety of health conditions. Cerebral electrical stimulations techniques, such as transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) can modulate motor brain areas involved in motor functions. However, their effects on trunk function are lacking. This study aims to investigate the effects of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on trunk muscle strength and endurance in healthy subjects.
