There are about 4987 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 goal of the present phase IIb clinical trial was to compare the safety and efficacy of the fixed-dose combination etoricoxib-tramadol 120mg/100mg tablet (once a day, for three days) versus naproxen 220mg tablet plus tramadol 50 mg capsule in patients with acute postoperative pain after impacted third molar extraction. The main research question was: Is the analgesic efficacy of etoricoxib-tramadol 120mg/100mg tablet non-inferior to naproxen 220 mg tablet + tramadol 50 mg capsule in a clinical model of moderate to severe acute pain? After informed consent, patients were randomly assigned to one of the two arms: test product (etoricoxib-tramadol 120mg/100mg tablet) or active comparator (naproxen 220mg tablet + tramadol 50 mg capsule). After surgery, patients were requested to start the treatment with study drugs (test product was administered once daily for three days; meanwhile reference drug was administered twice a day for three days). Investigators compared the effects of both treatments on pain intensity at different time frames using the visual analogue scale. Furthermore, the safety of investigational drugs was assessed during the study.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare de effect of vitamin K2 in young adults with overweight or obesity. The main questions to answer are: What is the effect of Vitamin K2 supplementation on methylation, serum concentration of ucOC, cOC, Gas6, leptin, inflammatory markers, cardiometabolic risk factors, and cardiovascular risk in overweight or obese young adults? Participants will be assigned to one of two intervention groups where they will consume Vitamin K2 100 µg per day or cornstarch 500 mg per day for 90 days. If there is a comparison group: Investigators will compare the supplementation group (Vitamin K2) with the placebo group (cornstarch) to see if vitamin K2 supplementation modifies methylation, increases serum vitamin K, osteocalcin, growth arrest-specific 6 protein serum concentration, decreases serum leptin concentration, inflammatory markers and reduces cardiometabolic risk factors and cardiovascular risk.
The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to determine the impact of the risk haplotype on SLC16A11 on early therapeutic responses in treatments to prevent T2D in Mexican mestizos with prediabetes. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - Evaluate the effect of the risk haplotype on weigth loss >3% - Evualuate the differences in lipid profiles and glycemic parameters (fasting glucose, HbA1c). Participants will be randomized into two groups: lifestyle intervention (LSI): hypocaloric diet, 25 kcal/kg of ideal weight, 45% of the total intake of carbohydrates, 30% lipids, and 25% protein sources + physical activity (>150 min medium intensity per week), or LSI + MET (750 mg metformin twice a day). Researchers will compare carriers and non carriers of the risk haplotype of SLC16A11 to see if there are diferent treatment responses.
During cardiorenal syndrome type 1 (CRS1) vascular congestion is the major contributor to worsening renal function, but promoting decongestion with routine clinical evaluation is ineffective in some patients. The venous evaluation by ultrasound (VExUS) may optimize its management when evaluating for improvement in kidney function and other metrics related to decongestion.
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the impact of repeated antioxidant supplementation on blastocyst utilization and expansion rates in embryos under different oxygen concentrations. The study aims to answer the following main questions: - Does adding antioxidants every 12 hours to embryo culture media improve usable and expanded blastocyst utilization rates on days 5 and 6? - How are the O2 concentrations related to the effect of different methods of antioxidants supplementation on blastocysts utilization and expansion rates? Participants in this study are infertile couples undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycles. - Zygotes will be incubated at either 5% or 20% oxygen tension until the blastocyst stage. - Sibling zygotes will be divided into four groups: Group 1A and 1B: Antioxidants every 12 hours at either 5% or 20% O2 tension, respectively. Group 2A and 2B: Antioxidants only once at the beginning of embryo culture at either 5% or 20% O2 tension, respectively. Researchers will compare the four groups to determine if the repeated antioxidant supplementation of the culture media leads to improved blastocyst utilization and expansion rates compared to the baseline group.
This study will investigate whether changes in the gut microbiota generated after the consumption of a high protein diet in healthy subjects, modify the production of secondary bile acids. In addition, it will be seen whether a high protein intake modifies postprandial glucose response and its relationship with gut microbiota composition.
Objective: to assess the effectiveness of a multi-component physical exercise online intervention (MPE) on physical performance (PP) in community-dwelling older adults. Methods: a randomized controlled trial, including 110 older adults (68.45±5.54 years), were divided into two parallel groups: an MPE group (n = 55) and a control group (n = 55). The exercise program included endurance, strength, coordination, balance, and flexibility exercises which were carried out for 3 months. The control group received educational sessions on health prevention related to physical exercise. The main endpoint was a change in PP assessed with the short physical performance battery (SPPB). It is also evaluated other variables such as sociodemographic (sex, age, education level), health conditions (cognitive impairment, polypharmacy, comorbidity, frailty, sarcopenia, depressive and anxiety symptoms), functional dependence through scales of activities of daily living (ADL), nutrition (risk of malnutrition, weight, height, body mass index (BMI), calf and waist circumference) and lifestyles (physical activity, alcoholism, and smoking). Comparisons were made in the follow-up measurements between groups by an independent t-test and baseline and follow-up measurements in both groups by a paired t-test.
This retrospective observational study aims to determine the probability of the risk of dengue transmission through a model based on epidemiological, entomological, socioeconomic, demographic, and landscape variables in the El Vergel neighborhood in the municipality of Tapachula, Chiapas, Mexico. The main question it aims to answer is: 1. Is it possible to identify the risk determinants of dengue transmission by developing a probabilistic model based on the landscape analysis of epidemiological, entomological, sociodemographic, and landscape variables in an endemic urban area of the municipality of Tapachula, Chiapas, Mexico? Participants will be selected from a registry obtained from the Secretary of Health of cases of dengue fever, which will be contrasted with the entomological, socioeconomic, demographic, and landscape variables in the El Vergel neighborhood in Tapachula, Chiapas, Mexico. They will be not contacted or sampled for biologic testing in any shape or form, only the data already collected from the health services will be used.
This work aimed to evaluate the acute effect of a black bean protein hydrolysate (BPH) on glucose levels in adults with normal glucose tolerance (NGT) and prediabetes. Twenty peptides were identified in BPH, and a followed in silico predictive digestion showed a release of several short-chain peptides with potential hypoglycemic potential. A double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trial was conducted on 28 adults with NGT or prediabetes. After consent, participants were randomized into two groups, placebo or the corresponding 5 g BPH treatment. An oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) (75 g glucose) was used to measure glucose tolerance before treatment. A second OGTT was used to evaluate the acute effect of the BPH, and blood samples were collected at 0, 60, 120, and 150 min, and blood glucose levels were measured.
The appearance of facial wrinkles, lines, or folds is a natural phenomenon during aging. Different scales help classify wrinkles objectively, such as the Facial Wrinkle Scale. Others help classify patients' subjective perspectives, like the Face-Q questionnaire. The application of Botulinum Toxin is the most performed non-surgical aesthetic procedure in the world to treat facial expression lines. The present study aims to compare the efficacy of onabotulinum toxin-A (BOTOX®) and prabotulinum toxin-A (NABOTA®) to treat expression lines in the upper third of the face, based on objective and subjective follow-up, using the FWS scale and FACE-Q questionnaire, respectively.
