There are about 4955 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.
Evaluate the efficiency of management with intravenous dexmedetomidine compared to intravenous ondansetron to achieve the disappearance of post-anesthetic shivering in a shorter time in the obstetric patient undergoing cesarean section under regional anesthesia.
The objective of this clinical trial is to verify the effectiveness of polyvinyl pyrrolidone collagen in all patients with symptomatic gonarthrosis grades II-IV in patients over 40 years of age. The main objectives that this study aims to answer are the following: 1. - Document the effectiveness of intra-articular polyvinylpyrrolidone collagen in the treatment of symptomatic gonarthrosis. 2. - Compare the intensity of pain, the degree of stiffness and functionality of the joint, prior to application and one month after the therapeutic intervention. 3. - Identify demographic, clinical and therapeutic factors that influence the effectiveness of intra-articular PVP collagen in the treatment of symptomatic gonarthrosis. Patients diagnosed with symptomatic gonarthrosis Grade II-IV, referred to the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation service within 3 months, will be selected. Two study groups will be assigned: GROUP those who received intra-articular infiltration of PVP Collagen, GROUP B: patients who received conservative treatment. Through rehabilitation with a home program for one month, in both cases, ENA and the WOMAC scale will be evaluated at the beginning of the study and after 4 weeks.
The goal of this quasi-experimental trial was to evaluate the effects of non-surgical spinal decompression on disability and pain in patients with chronic low back pain and sciatica throughout a two-month follow-up, and to analyze the relationship between demographic factors and clinical outcomes after a program of non-surgical spinal decompression. The main questions it aims to answer were: - Non-surgical spinal decompression is effective to reduce pain intensity and self-reported disability in patients with chronic low back pain and sciatica? - Age, level of education and work activities are related with clinical outcome in patients treated with non-surgical spinal decompression? Participants underwent eight sessions, three per week, with the BTL-6000 spinal decompression system. The study did not have a comparison group.
This study aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of the Zélé program, a controlled ketogenic diet, for weight loss and maintenance. It involved a randomized clinical trial with participants aged 18-60, BMI between 30-34.9 kg/m², and no severe health issues
Purpose: To analyze the efficiency of Cognitive Behavioral Intervention in combination with phototherapy to reduce insomnia and improve glycemic control, quality of life, and CLOCK genes expression in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods: Clinical, quasi-experimental, pre-post, explanatory, non-probability sampling. Subjects were invited to participate in Hospital Juárez de México. They received eight sessions of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in combination with phototherapy. The assessment was carried out with validated instruments for Mexican population and gene expression was evaluated by real-time PCR.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effect of a high vitamin K diet intervention on vitamin K, insulin, osteocalcin serum levels and the cardiovascular risk percentage in normal weight and overweight or obese young adults. The main questions it aims to answer are: • Does a diet intervention containing 500mcg of vitamin K increases serum vitamin K levels? • Are vitamin K serum levels after the 500mcg of vitamin K diet intervention associated with insulin and osteocalcin serum levels or the cardiovascular risk percentage in normal weight and overweight or obese young adults? Participants will have to follow a diet intervention that contains 500mcg of vitamin K, given as a cyclic menu for 6 weeks. Also, participants will have to assist weekly to nutritional monitoring and to report any situation they observed regarding the intervention during this study. Researchers will compare normal weight and overweight or obese groups with diet intervention with normal weight and overweight or obese groups without diet intervention and only dietetic recommendations to see if vitamin K serum levels, insulin, osteocalcin and the cardiovascular risk percentage improve after the 6 weeks diet intervention.
The aim of the present study was to investigate the potential beneficial effects in volunteer young adults of orally administered L. reuteri (DSM 17938 and ATCC PTA 5289) on gingival inflammation. The null hypothesis was that no difference would be manifested by probiotic therapy regarding the conventional mechanical treatment (without probiotic administration).
Statins have been shown to reduce LDL cholesterol (LCLc) levels, stabilizing atheromatous plaque, reversing endothelial dysfunction and decreasing thrombogenesis. Novel pharmacological approaches, such as PCSK9 inhibitors (PCSK9i), effectively reduce LDL-c. In the clinical setting, there are cases of dyslipidemia showing lack of response to statin, known as statin-resistant familial hypercholesterolemia (SR-FH), where patients maintain a high cardiovascular risk despite statin therapy. Then, therapeutic alternatives are required. PCSK9i has shown to reduce cholesterol levels and risk of cardiovascular disease, particularly in patients with statin-resistant familial hypercholesterolemia; and recently, it has been hypothesized that PCSK9i have an effect on inflammation. Aim. To evaluate the effect of anti-PCSK9 treatment on markers related to the inflammatory response in patients with SR-FH. Methods. Non-randomized, non-controlled, before-after comparison, quasiexperimental, single-center study on patients older than 18 years, with diagnosis statin-resistant FH (SR-FH), who were attended at the Cardiology Department, Centro Médico Nacional "20 de Noviembre ISSSTE", Mexico City. SR-FH was defined as symptomatic cardiovascular disease accompanied by LDL-C concentration higher than 160 mg/dL despite maximally tolerated statin dose. Clinical-demographic and anthropometry data were collected during a direct interview. Blood sample was processed to obtain glycated hemoglobin complete blood count and serum lipids. Likewise, flow cytometry was used to characterize baseline circulating M1-, M2-macrophages and monocytes. Multiplexing of plasma samples was used to compare plasma fraktaline, IL-1, IL-4, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, MCP-1 and TNF-alpha. Endpoints consisted of: 1) lower serum lipids; 2) modification of pro-inflammatory mediators (neutrophils, lymphocytes, NtLR, soluble pro-inflammatory cytokines). Quatitative data were resumed as mean ± SD; while categorical data as n(%).One-way T-test was applied. Statistical significance was considered if p <0.05.
At the beginning of 2020, a global alert emerged which saturated intensive care units due to COVID-19 worldwide. This caused a need for mechanical ventilation due to atypical pneumonias that had a rapid evolution and respiratory failure; therefore the consumption of sedative agents in the intensive care units escalated. Suboptimal sedation in the intensive care unit, increases the adverse effects, costs, and morbidity. For the time being, they focus on the use of intravenous agents such as propofol or dexmedetomidine, which are associated with tolerance, withdrawal, delirium, and hemodynamic effects. Consequently, the need arises to maximize availability and effectiveness, which is why the intervention of the ANACONDA conservation device is carried out, which works with a heat and humidity exchange filter capable of administering isoflurane or sevoflurane with an efficiency of 90%.
Severe obesity is associated with considerable reduction of wellbeing and life expectancy. People living with severe obesity tend to die 8 to 10 years earlier. Preoperative management of patients living with severe obesity can be challenging and proper weight-loss may help obtain better outcomes and less morbidity. The effectiveness of GLP-1 analogue Liraglutide in preoperative weight-loss was evaluated in the study.
