There are about 4961 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Mexico. 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 goal of this quasi-experimental pilot study is to evaluate the effect of a multi-component intervention in women between 55 and 75 years old at risk of sarcopenia. The main question it aims to answer are: What is the effect of a multi-component intervention in women at risk of sarcopenia? Participants will twelve women between 55 and 75 years old with risk of sarcopenia, who agreed through written informed consent for participate 12 weeks with 24 sessions included dancing, resistance exercises, and nutritional education. The outcomes were muscle mass, grip strength, gait speed and body composition. The effects were measured before and after the intervention, under a self-controlled design.
The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of Time restricted eating in patients diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome, comparing it to the standard hormonal treatment.
The goal of this clinical trial was to learn about the effect of maltreatment on psychological and brain characteristics in a group of children. The main question it aims to answer are: which are the clinical characteristics of maltreated children before and after a psychological intervention? what changes in brain emotional processing after a psychological intervention? and what is the effect of serotonin transporter variants after a psychological therapy? Participants were assessed before and after intervention with: - clinical measures of anxiety, depression post-traumatic stress and callous-unemotional traits - functional neuroimaging techniques to measure brain activity. - A sample of buccal epithelial cells to obtain information on serotonin transporter. Researchers will compare maltreated children with a group on non-maltreated children to see if there are differences on psychological characteristics and on brain activity before treatment.
Calcification of the coronary arteries is a direct sign of atherosclerotic disease of the coronary arteries and has been shown to be a strong predictor of the risk of cardiovascular diseases, including myocardial infarction and/or cardiac death, especially in patients with Diabetes Mellitus type 2. Therefore, there is great interest in pharmacotherapies that improve the rates of cardiovascular complications, and modify the outcomes of this group of patients. Large randomized controlled trials with SGLT2 inhibitors in patients with DM2 have shown a clear reduction in cardiovascular events among individuals with atherosclerotic disease. Atherosclerosis imaging allows measurable assessments of disease progression and activity, revealing early signs of potential drug effects. Noninvasive methods are preferred for serial imaging in drug trials due to the potential risks associated with invasive procedures. The coronary artery calcium quantification using the Agatston score is the most widely used method
The goal of the present phase IIb clinical trial was to compare the safety and efficacy of the fixed-dose combination etoricoxib-tramadol 120mg/100mg tablet (once a day, for three days) versus naproxen 220mg tablet plus tramadol 50 mg capsule in patients with acute postoperative pain after impacted third molar extraction. The main research question was: Is the analgesic efficacy of etoricoxib-tramadol 120mg/100mg tablet non-inferior to naproxen 220 mg tablet + tramadol 50 mg capsule in a clinical model of moderate to severe acute pain? After informed consent, patients were randomly assigned to one of the two arms: test product (etoricoxib-tramadol 120mg/100mg tablet) or active comparator (naproxen 220mg tablet + tramadol 50 mg capsule). After surgery, patients were requested to start the treatment with study drugs (test product was administered once daily for three days; meanwhile reference drug was administered twice a day for three days). Investigators compared the effects of both treatments on pain intensity at different time frames using the visual analogue scale. Furthermore, the safety of investigational drugs was assessed during the study.
During cardiorenal syndrome type 1 (CRS1) vascular congestion is the major contributor to worsening renal function, but promoting decongestion with routine clinical evaluation is ineffective in some patients. The venous evaluation by ultrasound (VExUS) may optimize its management when evaluating for improvement in kidney function and other metrics related to decongestion.
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the impact of repeated antioxidant supplementation on blastocyst utilization and expansion rates in embryos under different oxygen concentrations. The study aims to answer the following main questions: - Does adding antioxidants every 12 hours to embryo culture media improve usable and expanded blastocyst utilization rates on days 5 and 6? - How are the O2 concentrations related to the effect of different methods of antioxidants supplementation on blastocysts utilization and expansion rates? Participants in this study are infertile couples undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycles. - Zygotes will be incubated at either 5% or 20% oxygen tension until the blastocyst stage. - Sibling zygotes will be divided into four groups: Group 1A and 1B: Antioxidants every 12 hours at either 5% or 20% O2 tension, respectively. Group 2A and 2B: Antioxidants only once at the beginning of embryo culture at either 5% or 20% O2 tension, respectively. Researchers will compare the four groups to determine if the repeated antioxidant supplementation of the culture media leads to improved blastocyst utilization and expansion rates compared to the baseline group.
This study will investigate whether changes in the gut microbiota generated after the consumption of a high protein diet in healthy subjects, modify the production of secondary bile acids. In addition, it will be seen whether a high protein intake modifies postprandial glucose response and its relationship with gut microbiota composition.
Objective: to assess the effectiveness of a multi-component physical exercise online intervention (MPE) on physical performance (PP) in community-dwelling older adults. Methods: a randomized controlled trial, including 110 older adults (68.45±5.54 years), were divided into two parallel groups: an MPE group (n = 55) and a control group (n = 55). The exercise program included endurance, strength, coordination, balance, and flexibility exercises which were carried out for 3 months. The control group received educational sessions on health prevention related to physical exercise. The main endpoint was a change in PP assessed with the short physical performance battery (SPPB). It is also evaluated other variables such as sociodemographic (sex, age, education level), health conditions (cognitive impairment, polypharmacy, comorbidity, frailty, sarcopenia, depressive and anxiety symptoms), functional dependence through scales of activities of daily living (ADL), nutrition (risk of malnutrition, weight, height, body mass index (BMI), calf and waist circumference) and lifestyles (physical activity, alcoholism, and smoking). Comparisons were made in the follow-up measurements between groups by an independent t-test and baseline and follow-up measurements in both groups by a paired t-test.
This retrospective observational study aims to determine the probability of the risk of dengue transmission through a model based on epidemiological, entomological, socioeconomic, demographic, and landscape variables in the El Vergel neighborhood in the municipality of Tapachula, Chiapas, Mexico. The main question it aims to answer is: 1. Is it possible to identify the risk determinants of dengue transmission by developing a probabilistic model based on the landscape analysis of epidemiological, entomological, sociodemographic, and landscape variables in an endemic urban area of the municipality of Tapachula, Chiapas, Mexico? Participants will be selected from a registry obtained from the Secretary of Health of cases of dengue fever, which will be contrasted with the entomological, socioeconomic, demographic, and landscape variables in the El Vergel neighborhood in Tapachula, Chiapas, Mexico. They will be not contacted or sampled for biologic testing in any shape or form, only the data already collected from the health services will be used.
