There are about 4973 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 objective of this research is to evaluate the benefits of an experimental therapy for motor recovery of the arm after a stroke, which includes the application of a functional electrical stimulation therapy coupled to P-300 based Brain-Computer Interface system (BCI-FES). For this purpose, the investigators will compare two groups, the first one will receive only conventional physical and occupational therapy, while the second one will receive conventional therapy together with BCI-FES therapy. The control and experimental group will receive 20 sessions of conventional physical and occupational therapy at a rate of five sessions per week for 4 weeks (control group double dose of conventional therapy), and the experimental group will receive 20 sessions of rehabilitation with the BCI-FES system at a rate of five sessions per week for 4 weeks. Broadly speaking, the BCI is in charge of determining the movement selected by the individual and assist the hand movement while performing functional tasks. The movements included in the sessions will be hand opening, grasping, pinching, pronation and supination, which are combined to facilitate the execution of functional movements that are performed together with the manipulation of daily used utensils. The visual, sensory and motor feedback provided by the BCI-FES system that enables the individual to replicate the afferent-efferent motor circuit, contributes to the activation and recruitment of neural pathways, which is associated with motor recovery. It should be noted that this BCI-FES system has already been tested previously in a study with healthy individuals, and in a non-randomized pilot study that used this therapy for upper limb motor function recovery in chronic post-stroke patients. To evaluate the results, a series of tests will be applied to assess the motor recovery, including the FMA-UE: Fugl-Meyer Assessment Scale of Upper Extremity, ARAT: Action Research Arm Test, MAS: Modified Ashworth Scale, FIM: Functional Independence Measure and MAL: Motor Activity Log. Likewise, resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging studies will be performed to evaluate the degree of functional connectivity between various brain regions of interest related to the planning and execution of movements. This will determine whether the experimental therapy with BCI-FES favors arm and hand recovery in surviving stroke individuals.
The main purpose of this study is to determine if retatrutide can significantly lower the incidence of serious heart-related complications or prevent the worsening of kidney function. The trial will enroll adults with body mass index 27 kg/m^2 or higher and Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease and/or chronic kidney disease.
Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), formerly known as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), a major global public health concern, is commonly associated with obesity, diabetes, and dyslipidemia. MASLD is currently the most common cause of chronic liver disease affecting about 80% of people with obesity, ranging from simple fat deposits in the liver to Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatohepatitis (MASH), cellular injury, advanced fibrosis, cirrhosis, or hepatocellular carcinoma. Patients with MASH are also at risk for cardiovascular disease and mortality. There is no universally approved medication for MASH. Weight loss remains the cornerstone of MASH treatment. Patients meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria and who give informed consent will be enrolled in the trial and undergo the baseline liver biopsy (if none available). Approximately 120 patients with MASH and liver fibrosis (F1-F4 in baseline liver biopsy) will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to metabolic surgery or medical treatment (incretin-based therapies ± other medical therapies for MASH) and followed for 2 years at which time a repeat liver biopsy will be performed for the assessment of the primary end point.
The main purpose of this study is to determine if combining tirzepatide with the mibavademab will result in more weight loss in adult participants than tirzepatide alone. The study will last about 72 weeks and may include up to 19 visits.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness and safety of golcadomide in combination with rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (R-CHOP) chemotherapy vs placebo in combination with R-CHOP chemotherapy in participants with previously untreated high-risk large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL).
The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of retatrutide compared with placebo in participants with Type 2 Diabetes and inadequate glycemic control. The study will last about 11 months and may include up to 11 visits.
The clinical study aims to compare the effectiveness of applying two different regimens of scorpion antivenom therapy. In the first regimen (control), the medication is administered to all patients, and depending on the severity of the condition, the dosage varies. In the experimental regimen, an identical dose of scorpion antivenom is administered to patients exhibiting signs and symptoms of scorpion sting intoxication, in addition to pain and other symptoms at the sting site. The primary response variable is the time taken for signs and symptoms to resolve, but differences in complications, adverse effects, venom and antivenom concentration in the blood, and the need for other therapeutic measures are also evaluated.
Sleep is a physiological state that is essential for human performance, including academic, occupational, interpersonal, and psychological aspects. Sleep disruption or deprivation leads to a loss of psychomotor skills and an increased association with various diseases. Therefore, it is critical to assess how chronic sleep deprivation affects medical residents who work long shifts, including those assigned during their training.
The goal of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of Dostarlimab compared to Placebo in adult participants with HNSCC (Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma)
A5409/RAD-TB is an adaptive Phase 2 randomized, controlled, open-label, dose-ranging, platform protocol to evaluate the safety and efficacy of multidrug regimens for the treatment of adults with drug-susceptible pulmonary tuberculosis (TB). A5409 hypothesizes that novel regimens for the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis will result in superior early efficacy, as determined by longitudinal mycobacteria growth indicator tube (MGIT) liquid culture time to positivity (TTP) measurements over the first 6 weeks of treatment, and will have acceptable safety and tolerability over 8 weeks of treatment relative to standard of care [(SOC) isoniazid/rifampicin/pyrazinamide/ethambutol (HRZE)]. The study will run for 52 weeks, inclusive of 26 weeks of TB treatment comprised of 8 weeks of experimental or SOC treatment (based on treatment arm assignment) followed by 18 weeks of SOC treatment with 45 participants in each experimental treatment arm and at least 90 participants in the SOC arm.
