There are about 9891 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 multicenter randomized clinical trial is to compare the tunneling technique of PICC insertion with the non-tunneled insertion technique in the incidence of the combined or isolated outcome of catheter-related bloodstream primary infection, thrombosis, obstruction, and accidental dislodgement in the adult population within a period of up to 30 days.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the efficacy of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) as a psychotherapeutic treatment for patients with Bipolar Disorder (BD). The following questions will be investigated: - The efficacy of ACT in reducing depressive symptoms in patients with BD. - The efficacy of ACT in improving the quality of life in patients with BD. - The efficacy of ACT in improving functionality in patients with BD. - The efficacy of ACT in improving sleep quality in patients with BD. - The efficacy of ACT in improving psychological flexibility in patients with BD Participants in the clinical group will undergo 12, 2 hours, weekly sessions of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, in addition to their regular pharmacological treatment. Participants in the control group will undergo 3, 2 hours, weekly sessions of Bipolar Disorder Psychoeducation Therapy, in addition to their regular pharmacological treatment. Scales and assessments will be used to measure study outcomes on 3 different time-points: pre-intervention (month 0), post-intervention (month 3) and follow-up (month 6). Mood scales will be assessed every 2 weeks for the duration of treatment and every 4 weeks during the additional 12 week follow-up period. Psychological Flexibility scale will be assessed every week for the duration of treatment; as well as brief mood diary, which will be assessed daily for the duration of treatment. Results will be compared among both groups to assess the effectiveness of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy as an intervention for syndromic and sub-syndromic depression in bipolar disorder.
The goal of this study is to learn if a smartwatch is effective to identify factors related to sleep quality and habits of adults (30 years old or more), enabling the improvement and/or creation of instruments to assess overall health status and sleep quality. The main question it aims to answer is: - Does the smartwatch application (software) indicate sleep habits and measure sleep quality in accordance to the standardized clinical instruments commonly used to assess sleep?
Dysfunctional breathing and persistent hypocapnia can be associated with many of the symptoms experienced by patients such as dyspnea, fatigue, chest pain and palpitations. The identification of dysfunctional breathing and hypocapnia in these patients is important as it may represent a target for treatment. In many of these patients, tachypnea at low levels of exertion suggests increased respiratory muscle activity, which can lead to the sensation of dyspnea. Sympathetic hyperactivity leads to excessive and irregular ventilation during exercise. In this way, inspiratory muscle training can improve symptoms (dysfunctional breathing), possibly by attenuating the metaboreflex (vagal modulation-attenuation of the sympathetic response) of the inspiratory muscle in post-covid-19 subjects, reducing ventilatory variability.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate efficacy and safety of Dato-DXd in combination with rilvegostomig or rilvegostomig monotherapy compared with pembrolizumab monotherapy as a first line therapy in participants with locally advanced or metastatic non-squamous NSCLC with high PD-L1 expression (TC ≥ 50%) and without actionable genomic alterations.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness and safety of golcadomide in combination with rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (R-CHOP) chemotherapy vs placebo in combination with R-CHOP chemotherapy in participants with previously untreated high-risk large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL).
Patients with low cardiac output syndrome requiring surgical and periodontal dental treatment will be selected to undergo the dental procedure using local dental anesthetic: 2% lidocaine with epinephrine and 2% lidocaine without vasoconstrictor. Cardiovascular events and the safety of using two cartridges (3.6 mL) will be evaluated. They will be evaluated by Holter monitoring in the period of 1 hour before, during and 1 hour after the procedure and blood pressure correction will be performed
A randomized clinical trial using oral letrozole 10mg/day for 7 days, for treating early cases of ectopic pregnancy, compared to intramuscular methotrexate
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), as of mid-September 2022, more than 21 million Brazilians have recovered from COVID-19. However, post-infection symptoms continue to appear months after the end of the acute infection, a syndrome called long COVID. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate the responses of fascia-focused manual therapy in participants with long COVID.
