There are about 5012 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.
This is a randomized, double blind, controlled study. The aim is to compare postoperative inguinal pain using the Inguinal Pain Questionnaire (IPQ) validated in Spanish and Numerical Pain Scale in postoperative patients with Lichtenstein and Onstep technique at 1 week, 1, 3 and 6 months. The investigators also validated the IPQ in spanish. It was randomized 20 patients for the Lichtenstein repair and 20 patients for the Onstep technique. The study was conducted in the General Surgery Department of the Central Hospital Dr. Ignacio Morones Prieto, considered as a second level of attention and a surgery training center. The validated questionnaire in spanish and the visual pain scale were applied in the office at 1 week and by phone at 1 month, 3 and 6 months after surgery by two evaluators who did not know the surgical technique used.
The use of hamstrings and quadriceps autografts as an alternative option for reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament has good clinical results: however, both techniques have not been compared among them, which is why this study is intended. The use of quadriceps tendon autograft in anterior cruciate ligament repair presents similar or better results compared to autograft of the hamstrings. The objective of the study is to compare the clinical effectiveness of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction between the use of quadriceps tendon autograft versus hamstring autograft.
The study aims to collect data on the safety and use of intravitreal aflibercept injections into the eye for the treatment of eye disorders that cause blurred vision or a blind spot due to abnormal or blocked blood vessels. Data will be collected from patients who are being treated for such eye disorders in Mexican routine clinical practice.
Introduction: By definition, the laparotomy is a surgical incision into the abdomen cavity performed to examine the abdominal and retroperitoneal organs. The evisceration/eventration and the hernia are considered the most frequent complication of the midline laparotomy with a high morbidity and mortality related. Conditions that will require a second intervention, in Mexico represent the seventh cause of elective surgery and fourth cause of emergency procedures. The objective of this study is to determine if the incidence of post-incisional hernia in patients with high risk after a midline laparotomy are similar between the closure of the abdominal wall with the RTL technique and the supraaponeurotic mesh closure reinforcement. Material and Methods: Clinical trial comparing the use of mesh against the RTL technique for post-incisional hernia prophylaxis. Two groups, triple blind Analysis will be carried out with intent to treat and not inferiority with 95% confidence intervals
The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the bioequivalence of Deflox® 50 milligrams (mg) tablets compared with Cataflam® DD tablets 50 mg administered as single dose in fasting conditions to healthy participants.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of VIB4920 (formerly MEDI4920) in adult participants with Sjögren's Syndrome (SS).
The overall objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and diagnostic efficacy of Mangoral in liver MRI in participants with known or suspected focal liver lesions and severe renal impairment. The diagnostic efficacy of Mangoral will be assessed in terms of visualization of detected focal liver lesions in combined MRI (CMRI: combined Mangoral-enhanced and unenhanced MRI) compared to unenhanced MRI.
Dry eye disease is a very frequent pathology that importantly affects the quality of life of patients; in spite of the common use of eye lubricants to ameliorate symptoms, there is still a large number of patients who do not present improvement of the disease or they worsen. Although its etiology is varied, the imbalance of the immune system plays a substantial role in the development of dry eye disease. Rapamycin or sirolimus is an anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory drug that has an enormous potential in ocular surface pathologies such as dry eye disease. The aim of the present study is to determine the effectiveness and security of subconjunctival application of a new formulated drug of liposomal sirolimus in patients with moderate and severe dry eye disease. This is a randomized placebo-controlled double blind clinical trial. Patients presenting data of moderate or severe dry eye disease will be randomized into two groups. One group will receive additional to the conventional treatment, subconjunctival injections of liposomal sirolimus; meanwhile the other group will receive subconjunctival placebo injections. After intervention the effectiveness and the security of the liposomal sirolimus will be evaluated.
Study design: Phase I-II clinical trial, comparative, non-inferiority with active control, parallel groups, double blind with randomisation. Safety analysis when completing the visits of the first 12 subjects of the Nanodrop® group, if there are less than 20% of unexpected Events (EA), related to the research product, recruitment is continued until the sample is completed for efficacy analysis objectives Security: Evaluate the safety of the ophthalmic application of Nanodrop® by quantifying the incidence of unexpected Adverse Events (EA) related to the research product (PI). Effectiveness: Demonstrate the non-inferiority of Nanodrop® compared to Systane® Balance, in the efficacy of the treatment of patients with dry eye, by means of the Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI). Hypothesis Security: H0 = Nanodrop® is safe in its ophthalmic application as it presents an incidence of unexpected adverse events related to the research drug, less than 20% of the population of Nanodrop® safety group. H1 = Nanodrop® is not safe in its ophthalmic application, as it presents an incidence of unexpected adverse events related to the research drug, exceeding 20% of the population of Nanodrop® safety group. Effectiveness: H0 = Nanodrop® is lower than Systane® Balance by more than 5 points in the OSDI test score. H1 = Nanodrop® is lower than Systane® Balance by 5 points or less in the OSDI test score. Number of subjects: n = 126 evaluable subjects 63 evaluable subjects per group (both eyes). Main inclusion criteria: Dry eye diagnosis Duration of intervention treatment: 28 days Approximate duration of the subject in the study: 35 days
Currently, the changes generated in lifestyle, such as excessive consumption of saturated fats and refined carbohydrates, as well as the decrease in the intake of fiber, fruits, vegetables and antioxidants, as well as physical inactivity, have generated an increase in the prevalence of dyslipidemias. Dyslipidemias are a disorder of blood lipid and lipoprotein concentration, which increases the risk of developing atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases. In Mexico, the dyslipidemias are present in one in four Mexicans over 20 years old. However, in Yucatan increases this frequency increases due to one in three people suffer from dyslipidemia. Its prevalence is even higher in overweight subjects, diabetes and high blood pressure. Thus, it is important to search for strategies to reduce dyslipidemias, as well as the complications associated with them. The treatment and prevention of dyslipidemia is through dietary treatment, which may be accompanied by the consumption of foods that generate beneficial health effects due to the presence of bioactive compounds. Chaya (Cnidoscolus chayamansa) is a plant use in popular medicine to treat medicine in the treatment of chronic degenerative diseases. It contained different bioactive compounds such as flavonoids, vitamin C and polyphenols such as quercetin and kaempferol. Compounds that have been assigned various beneficial effects such as decreased triglyceride concentrations, cholesterol, malondialdehyde, C-Reactive protein, oxidized LDL, which are alterations that are present in dyslipidemia. Therefore, the consumption of this food could be an adequate strategy for subjects with dyslipidemia in Yucatan and Mexico due to the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, and could reduce the risk of developing atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases.
