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.
Orthopedic Manual Therapy (OMT) is one of the branches of physiotherapy that has less evidence about its action and efficacy, but those who have had the opportunity to apply or receive it know its great benefits. Currently, worldwide, the approach given to physiotherapy goes hand in hand with the guidelines of the TMO, but in Colombia it is not seen in the same way. The objective of this TFM is to compare the effects of Finding-Oriented Orthopedic Manual Therapy combined with Foam Roller versus the effects of Foam Roller alone, specifically in terms of muscle power and lower limb flexibility in Colombian athletes. For this, a randomized controlled clinical trial will be carried out with two groups that will undergo different interventions. To measure the variables, the CMJ jump protocol will be used with the Optogait and the Wells or sit and reach test.
Brassicaceae plant family have a high content of bioactive compounds such as e.g. glucosinolates (GSLs) and isothiocyanates (ICTs) associated, recently, with diabetes prevention. This research proposal has the intention of evaluating if the ingestion of freeze-dried nasturtium has a positive effect on the insulin response, lipid profile, oxidative stress biomarkers and gene expression of RESISTIN, GLUT 4, acetyl-CoA carboxylase-a (ACC), fatty acid synthase (FASN), NRF-2, NQO1, SFRXN1, glutathione peroxidase 2 (GPx-2), FOXO1, FOXO3 and FOXO6 in subjects with glucose intolerance.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the glycaemic control and other clinical parameters in adult patients previously treated with basal insulin (with or without OADs) and switched to IDegLira in real-world clinical practice in Colombia.
This study will assess the effect of an educational nursing intervention in adults to promote dengue control and prevention behaviors, in comparison with the usual strategy of a health service provider institution. The intervention uses the Nola Pender Health Promotion Model as a theoretical framework. Findings will be assessed using the nursing outcomes "risk control" and "participation in health care decisions" from the Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC).
The main aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of S-217622 versus placebo among outpatient adults with mild and moderate COVID-19 starting intervention within 3 days of symptom onset.
COVID-19 is the infectious disease caused by the novel coronavirus known as SARS-CoV-2, that appeared in 2019. The World Health Organisation (WHO) declared the novel coronavirus a pandemic on 11 March 2020. The evolution of the pandemic is varying across countries, affected in part by different containment strategies ranging from extreme lockdown to relative inaction. As a result, there are regional waves of the disease and pockets of vulnerable populations. Globally, governments have acknowledged that effective vaccines against COVID-19 are the only way to guarantee a safe and sustained exit strategy from repeated lockdowns. The objective of this study is to estimate the vaccine effectiveness against hospitalizations due to circulating COVID-19 VoC among subjects eligible for vaccination with the AstraZeneca or any other COVID-19 vaccine provided in their country as per national/regional immunization recommendations prior to hospital admission. The study design is an observational prospective active-surveillance hospital-based study, with a test-negative case-control design (TNCC) of hospitalized COVID-19 like cases undergoing testing for SARS-CoV-2
Interventions to promote physical activity among women breast cancer survivors (BCS) in low to middle-income countries are limited. We conducted a study to assess the acceptability and preliminary effectiveness of an 8-week, 3 times/week group dance intervention for BCS delivered in Bogotá, Colombia. The effect of the intervention on participants' physical activity levels, motivation to engage in physical activity, and quality of life were evaluated, and interviews were thematically analyzed to assess program acceptability.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide, according to recent publications of the World Health Organization, its main feature is the response to noxious particles of gases, which trigger an inflammatory response with its sequence secondary to the flow of air, the limitation generated by the ventilation reserve mechanism of insufficiency, dyspnea and dysfunction at the muscular level, these limitations generate a high degree of disability worldwide in the different areas of the people who suffer from it, which it affects their basic performance and their interaction with the environment. The World Health Organization, in a more recent projection, predicted that COPD will increase from its recent classification as the fifth most common cause of mortality to the fourth most common cause by 2030, which would place it behind ischemic cerebrovascular disease, HIV / AIDS and heart disease. More importantly, COPD is a cause that increases chronic disability and is expected to become the fifth most common cause of chronic disability worldwide by 2020. There is great evidence on the benefit of pulmonary rehabilitation in patients with COPD, which generates changes among which is tolerance to exercise, dyspnea, control of symptoms and improvement in the quality of life related to health. It should be noted that pulmonary rehabilitation not only includes physical training, but also involves the educational component in relation to healthy habits. In this way, patients who have achieved a successful form of a pulmonary rehabilitation program must obtain an improvement in their physical and psychological state, following up on this type of patients, achieving the empowerment of the health process and improving long-term symptoms and healthy lifestyle habits. Therefore, the objective of this study is to carry out a telephone education and a follow-up plan that emphasizes the importance of physical activity with adequate parameters to be part of the lifestyle of patients and to comply with the activity.
Sociodemographic, Clinical, Quality of Life, and Health Care Conditions After Hospital Discharge in Patients Who Required Admission to the Intensive Care Unit for COVID-19 at the Hospital Universitario Nacional Between April 2020 and March 2021. Bogotá, Colombia The main objective of this study is to characterize the sociodemographic, clinical, quality of life and health care conditions in a cohort of patients who have survived a stay in the Intensive Care Unit of the National University Hospital of Colombia. Secondarily, associations between these findings and sociodemographic and clinical characteristics will be evaluated. It is expected to contribute to the scientific literature through the characterization and epidemiology of the problem in a sample of patients from a Latin American country. It is planned to contribute not only with clinical data, but also with data on socioeconomic impacts on patients and notions of the health care they are receiving. Through the analyzes to be carried out, associations that will contribute to the evidence for prevention and management of the outcome will be explored.
