There are about 1912 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Colombia. 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 the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of Hypochlorous Acid and Chlorhexidine as postsurgical antimicrobial agents in the treatment of severe chronic periodontal disease. The selected patients will be randomly divided into two groups of 16 each. Subjects in group I will undergo scaling and surgical root planing and will use mouthrinse with 0.05% HOCl for 7 days, after this they will mouthwash with 0.025% HOCl until day 21 and Subjects in group II will undergo scaling and surgical root planing followed by a rinse with CHX 0.2% for 7 days, after this they will mouthwash with 0.12% CHX until day 21. Null Hypothesis: There are no significant differences between hypochlorous acid and chlorhexidine in reducing plaque formation at 7, 21 and 90 days of evaluation. There are no significant differences between HOCl and CHX in the elimination or reduction of periodontopathogenic microorganisms at 7, 21 and 90 days. Alternative hypotheses: There are significant differences between hypochlorous acid and chlorhexidine in reducing plaque formation at 7, 21 and 90 days of evaluation. There are significant differences between HOCl and CHX in the elimination or reduction of periodontopathogenic microorganisms at 7, 21 and 90 days.
Study is to provide evidence comparing AQUACEL® Ag+ Extra™ versus Cutimed® Sorbact® in the progression of wounds towards healing
Concurrent and aerobic physical exercise are recognized strategies for the treatment of overweight and obesity. The interventions of these modalities have been performed with cardiovascular machines or guided execution in their majority, making it possible to improve the health of this population; however, the studies have used high-cost equipment that is not very accessible to the general population. For this reason, we propose to compare the effects of two 12-week programs: concurrent vs. aerobic, using an innovative methodology with musicalized and outdoor activities, little approached by research. The polarized training intensity distribution model, usually used in sports and now applied to physical activity to improve VO2max, muscular strength, and body composition, will be used to determine which intervention is superior in improving these variables.
Selecting the right technique for lower limb soft tissue reconstruction is a therapeutic challenge. Despite having several reconstruction options, it's important to choose a technique that is effective and with the least possible donor site morbidity for the patient. Objective: demonstrate the therapeutic efficacy of the medial tab flap in soft tissue reconstruction on the leg, compared to conventional flaps. Materials and methods: Cohort study matched with Propensity Score Matching (PSM) by age. 64 patients with soft tissue defects were selected and followed up to one year postoperatively. Outcome variables: surgical time in minutes, healing, healing time in days, complications.
This study is a clinical trial will be carried out during academic term to assess the potential effects of the Daily Mile program on health-related physical fitness and sleep quality on overweight/obese schoolchildren.The trial will be taken place in Bucaramanga, Colombia
This study aims to design a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and apply an attention model to help differentiate pneumonia due to Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), pneumonia due to other viruses/bacteria, and normal chest x-ray (CXR) in clinical practice. A bank of digital chest images from a high-complexity health facility in Cali, Colombia, was used.
Type of Study: a pragmatic randomized clinical trial. Research question How effective is the CKD SMS self-management nursing intervention on self-management behaviors, self-efficacy, and adherence in adults with early-stage CKD compared to usual care? General objective To determine the effectiveness of the self-management nursing intervention (CKD SMS) on self-management behaviors, self-efficacy, and therapeutic adherence in people with CKD in early stages compared to usual care. Target population: Adult men and women with chronic kidney disease in stages 1-4, with different characteristics such as educational level, socioeconomic status, and marital status. Taking into account that the definition of early stages through the criteria demarcated by the Colombian clinical practice guideline, where the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is the indicator for stratification as follows: stage 1 people with a GFR less than or equal to 90 (ml (min / 1.73 m2), stage 2 people with GFR between 60-89 (ml (min / 1.73 m2), stage 3 people with GFR between 30-59 (ml (min / 1.73 m2)) and stage 4 people with GFR between 15-30 (ml (min / 1.73 m2) who attend kidney protection programs of the Renal Units in Colombia. STUDY VARIABLES Among the variables that are available for the present study are: - Independent Variables: Sociodemographic characteristics, related to the disease or clinical condition and the CKD intervention. - Dependent variables: Self-management behaviors, therapeutic adherence, and self-efficacy. Within the mediating, shaping or confounding variables, the following are found according to what is established in the literature: age, gender, level of education, time of diagnosis and other comorbidities, which are initially considered independent variables and will be measured. In the study, for its management, strategies such as randomization will be used, the differences between the crude estimates of an association and those adjusted considering a confounding variable will be identified and its adjustment is responsible for at least 10% in the magnitude of the difference. INTERVENTIONS - CKD SMS intervention CKD SMS (Chronic Kidney Disease Self-Management Support) intervention - Conventional intervention The conventional intervention corresponds to the protocol established in the program of the renal unit for the management of people with CKD in early stages.
A triple-arm double-blinded placebo-controlled repeated-measures randomized clinical trial in Colombian elite team-sport athletes. The aim is to evaluate the effects on strength-related parameters and body composition after eight weeks of supplementation with creatine monohydrate (CrM) and creatine hydrochloride (Cr-HCl). The study will be reported following the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) extension to Multi-Arm Parallel-Group Randomized Trials. All variables will be measured at baseline and after eight weeks.
Objetive:To determine the effects of a functional ankle instability prevention neuromuscular training (PENMT) program compared to the conventional FIFA 11+ program on the occurrence of ankle sprains, flexibility, balance and muscle activation in 17-year-old male youth soccer players to 20 years. Subjects and Methods: An experimental investigation, controlled, randomized and single-blind clinical trial was carried out in 40 subjects randomized to start the control or experimental group (soccer Players). The trial compared the effects of a differential intervention with a protocol focused on an ankle neuromuscular training program vs the usual FIFA 11+ program, in order to strengthen functional ankle stability in youth soccer in male players. In each subject, 2 measurements were taken: Pre-intervention and Post-intervention. For each measurement, a hypothesis test was performed. Results: The FIFA11+ is expressed as an injury risk factor when buying it with the PENMT after their participation. Conclusion:The neuromuscular training program for the ankle or PENMT applied in the experimental group did not generate a negative effect with respect to the FIFA 11+ program, in addition to the time of departure in the post test, the PENMT program is expressed as a protection factor of player injuries when contrasted with the FIFA 11+ program, that is, it presents effectiveness against the risk factor of functional ankle instability.
