There are about 1933 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.
A clinical trial to study the efficacy and safety of an investigational drug in acutely psychotic people with schizophrenia. Participants in the study will either receive the drug being studied or a placebo. This study is accepting male and female participants between 13 years old -65 years old who have been diagnosed with schizophrenia. This study will be conducted in 70 locations worldwide. The study will last up to 9 weeks total time.
The present study aimed to develop a sensitive dengue diagnostic clinical algorithm using the resources that are available at the health care institutions, clinical expertise, and identification of signs and symptoms and variables of the hemogram associated with dengue. The performance of the potential algorithms were assessed under routine care. A single group cuasiexperimental study with a Bayesian adaptive design was conducted. Prior and cumulative information was used during intermediate analysis of clinical algorithms performance and according to these results algorithms were modified and then implemented in the subsequent study subjects. Men and women of all ages, seeking care due to fever of less than 15 days were recruited in 3 endemic areas in Colombia. The algorithms were applied by study physicians and blood samples taken for hemogram and dengue reference tests. It was planned that algorithms with high sensitivity (95%) and specificity (80%) were implemented in real life to assess their impact on patients outcomes alone and in combination with dengue rapid diagnostic tests but this was not feasible as not algorithms achieved the targetted performance. The experience of physicians using the algorithm in a mobile device was going to be explored with qualitative methods but this was explored with study physicians.
This research seeks to evaluate the short (i.e., after single application) and long-term (i.e., after periodic application) hydrating effect of a topical preparation containing CBD and hemp oil on the skin of the volar forearm as well as the effect on instrumentally measured erythema.
This research seeks to evaluate the short (i.e., after single application) and long-term (i.e., after periodic application) hydrating effect of a topical preparation containing CBD and hemp oil on facial skin as well as the effect on erythema, appearance, instrumentally measured sebum production and quality of life.
This study aims to assess the malnutrition prevalence of Colombian community-dwelling adults and evaluate the feasibility of a nutrition-focused QIP implemented in a Colombian ambulatory care facility on healthcare utilization.
The purpose was to evaluate histomorphometrically the early healing at implants installed in sites prepared with either a sonic device or conventional drills.
The objective of the study is to evaluate histomorphometrically the healing at implants installed with standard or very low insertion torque values.
Major abdominal surgery continues is one of the most performed surgical procedures in the world, both electively and urgently. One of the main problems of this type of intervention is postoperative pain. it is shown that it increases health costs related to longer recovery times, longer hospital stay and related complications such as the increased risk of presenting chronic POP pain, which it has been estimated up to 20%, much higher if the surgery involves surgery in the gastrointestinal system. The goal of analgesia in the postoperative setting is precisely to provide comfort to patients, minimize adverse effects and complications arising from the procedure. The epidural analgesic technique (has been proposed as an analgesic management standard, since multiple studies have shown that it reduces opioid consumption, improves recovery and is a useful strategy for pain control. However, it is an invasive technique, with risk of complications such as hematomas and epidural abscesses, and it may be difficult to perform. Currently it has been shown in multiple studies that the intravenous infusion of a local anesthetic, such as lidocaine, in this type of surgical scenarios can reduce the intensity of pain, opioid consumption, hospital stay and ileus with few adverse effects. In addition, these studies propose that, being a less invasive technique, it could be easier to implement and even be safer than the epidural technique. The main hypothesis of this study is precisely that the infusion of lidocaine may be non-inferior to epidural analgesia in the analgesic management of patients undergoing major abdominal surgery.
Introduction: The patellofemoral pain syndrome (SPF) is one of the most frequent pathologies generated by the knee joint. Conservative treatment with physiotherapy exercises reduces pain and improves functional capacity in the short and medium term. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the therapeutic effect of combining a program of muscle strengthening exercises for the core, hip and knee on anterior knee pain in non-athletic patients with SPF. Materials and methods: Randomized controlled trial clinical trial, designed to evaluate the effect of two muscle strengthening programs in people with SPF (Group A: exercises for core, hip and knee, Group B: exercises for hip and knee), during eight weeks of intervention in people between 15 and 40 years of age, with a clinical diagnosis of SPF, with a level of mild to moderate physical activity. The Kujala test was used to measure pain and quality of life.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of etrasimod on clinical remission in participants with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC).
