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.
The objective of the present study was to verify the impact of physical exercise at a distance (EFAD) on the level of mobility and quality of sleep of hypertensive elderly women. To this end, hypertensive elderly women under drug treatment aged between 60 and 79 years old age, without orthopedic limitations and/or cardiovascular complaints were assessed using questionnaires, functional tests, sleep scale classification and use of actigraphy for 7 days. Afterwards, they were randomized into 2 groups, control and EFAD, with synchronous training online 2x/week and by recorded class 1x/week. Reassessments were made after 10 weeks.
Introduction: Photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) is based on the emission of light ranging from red to near-infrared spectra by different devices based on diode lasers or light-emitting diodes. These devices emitting different wavelengths can increase mitochondrial activity and energy synthesis (ATP - adenosine triphosphate) that in turn can help to prevent muscle damage, decrease muscle fatigue and enhance muscle performance. Thus, PBMT can be a promising therapeutic resource in the sports field. Objectives: The aim of this study is to verify the effect of PBMT on the muscle performance and prevention of muscle damage and delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) in professional soccer players submitted to a muscle damage protocol. Methodology: The present study is a randomized sham-controlled clinical trial following the SPIRIT guidelines.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare in patients undergoing thoracic procedures the lung inflammatory response in on one-lung ventilation and two-lung ventilation strategies The main question to answer is: • Lung inflammation differs when comparing one to two-lung ventilation strategies during the procedure? Participants will be divided in the classic one lung ventilation or two lung ventilation (using pneumothorax with CO2) and different biomarkers of lung inflammation will be measured after procedures.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of 02 facial sunscreens (investigational products [IPs]) under controlled and normal conditions of use on the face for 28 and 56 days, respectively. This study will consist of 2 groups a) Group 1: will assess the safety and efficacy of a facial sunscreen in improving skin hydration and barrier function, through 12h of single application on the face in comparison with the control area (other side of face) and on the forearm, comparing 02 IPs versus control area (no product application) and 03 benchmarks; and through use of the IP under normal conditions for 28 +/- 2 days on the face, with assessments by instrumental measurements of corneometry, transepidermal water loss, image capture (Colorface) and assessments of the efficacy perceived by the participant; b) Group 2: will evaluate the safety and efficacy of a facial sunscreen in improving skin hydration and barrier function, through 12h of single application on the face; and through use of IP under normal conditions for 28 +/- 2 days on the face, with assessments by instrumental measurements of corneometry, transepidermal water loss, imaging (Colorface) and assessments of the efficacy perceived by the participant; in addition to evaluating the improvement in uniformity of facial skin tone through the use of IP under normal conditions for 56 +/- 2 days, with assessments by image analysis (Colorface), dermatological clinical analyses (radiance and homogeneity of skin tone),assessments of perceived efficacy, and emotional testimony by the participant.
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) leads to a high burden of morbidity and mortality, usually attributable to cardiovascular (CVD) causes. A major concern about the disease is that the success of the treatment is highly dependent on self-management, which very often incurs the necessity of behavior change. However, modifying such behaviors, usually linked to daily-life activities, is challenging. Then, the investigators aimed to test the optimal self-management that could be achieved in a reasonable manner carried forward through the Prochaska and DiClemente behavior-changing strategy in a follow-up of 18 months, compared to usual care. Our primary outcome is the between-group difference in HbA1c (%) levels.
This study aims to develop a digitally assisted telemonitoring platform using the Samsung TM Galaxy Watch5 smartwatch, validating the applicability of the solution in patients with POAF (Postoperative Atrial Fibrillation), along with the accuracy of the smartwatch in detecting vital signs through optical sensors and possibly identifying irregularities in heart rhythm. The validation of its applicability will be carried out through a clinical trial. This is a randomized observational pilot study resulting from the partnership established in the base year of 2022 between InCor and Samsung. The sample consisted of 108 outpatient patients with cardiac diseases who underwent cardiac surgery and were selected during the preoperative consultation. Subsequently, the patients were randomized (1:1) into the intervention group (teleassisted group) or the control group (standard institution follow-up). The sample size was proposed by the contracting party as this is a pilot study to assess whether the implementation of a technological solution assists in monitoring and predicting the risk of surgical patients in the postoperative phase, as well as the accuracy of the Samsung TM Galaxy Watch5 smartwatch in a sample with POAF.
The goal of this clinical trial Is conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of active or sham HD-tDCS in combination with dexmedetomidine in patients with moderate to severe ARDS due to COVID-19 with delirium in intensive care unit (ICU). The hypothesis was that HD-tDCS combined with concomitant dexmedetomidine would reduce delirium rates.
Studies with quantitative electroencephalogram (qEEG) in people with fibromyalgia showed the existence of distinct patterns of brain electrical activity when compared to healthy individuals. Such dysfunctional patterns may be correlated to clinical symptoms of the syndrome as chronic pain and emotional disorders (depression and anxiety). As chronic pain can be considered a multidimensional symptom, its evaluation should consider beyond others, two main dimensions: the sensitive-discriminative dimension and the affective-motivational dimension. Previous studies have been describing distinct brain areas as neural substrates for processing such dimensions of pain. Thus, the identification of electrophysiological biomarkers (i.e., as qEEG measures) allowing to perform an evaluation between dysfunctional patterns of brain electrical activity and different dimensions of pain seems to be a promising path in the search for a better understanding of the syndrome as well as for more individualized and effective therapeutic approaches. Our objective was to investigate whether dysfunctional patterns of brain electrical activity in frontal and central areas of people with fibromyalgia are differently related to dimensions of pain (sensory-discriminative and affective-motivational) and to emotional disorders (depression and anxiety).
The objective of study is to evaluate the influence of the use of Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) from the patient's produced by a new horizontal centrifugation protocol associated with particulate xenogenous bone graft in the rehabilitation of atrophic maxillary sinus for early osseointegrated implants plancement. In a split-mouth model, twelve patients in need of rehabilitation with at least two bilateral implants in the regions of atrophic maxillary sinus will simultaneously undergo bone reconstruction using deproteinized particulate xenogenous bone (Bio-Oss Small®; Geistlich AG, Wolhusen , Switzerland). Randomly, one of the surgical sites of each patient will be reconstructed using the associated technique of solid PRF + Liquid PRF with the xenogen material, where at the end of the grafting procedure, both sites will be protected by a collagen membrane (Bio-Gide® Compressed; Geistlich AG, Wolhusen, Switzerland) positioned over the surgical access of the maxillary sinus. During the research, cone-beam computed tomography scans will be performed preoperatively, immediately after surgical procedure, 3 months after maxillary sinus reconstruction, after immediate implants placement and 12 months after functional load of the implants for comparative volume measurement of tissue gain and the maintenance of the grafted tissue. During the implant surgery, bilateral biopsies will be collected after 4 months of the regenerative surgical procedure during the early dental implants surgery by virtually guided surgery. The stability of the implants will be measured by means of resonance frequency analysis (ISQ) after the immediate postoperative period and 6 postoperative months as the clinical success rates of the implants after 12 months with functional load. The tissue samples will be used for histological, histomorphometric, immunohistochemistry and microtomographic analysis. All data obtained will be statistically analyzed.
