There are about 28871 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Canada. 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 aim of this study to quantify the subjective ocular awareness of different eyelid cleansing wipes available for the management of Demodex folliculorum.
An investigator initiated pilot study: two arm, double blind, placebo controlled, randomized, group of approximately 60 patients with spinal cord injury, and who have evidence of neurogenic bladder. Patients will be treated with human milk oligosaccharide (HMO) versus placebo over 12 weeks from start of the investigational medication date (approximately 3 months) to test whether HMO can improve bowel motility in neurogenic bowel and bladder patients. Patients in the placebo arm of the study will be offered participation in the open label portion of the study immediately after their part in the control group is completed, they will receive HMO for 12 weeks. HMO sachets will be administered to determine the safety and efficacy of HMO relative to placebo in improving quality of life of neurogenic bowel and bladder patients by improving bowel motility and function.
This is a prospective observation study in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) starting either cytotoxic chemotherapy or radiation therapy. It will assess changes in circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in the days following the initiation of treatment, as well as longitudinal monitoring, to assess the dynamics and value of ctDNA in stage III-IV NSCLC.
Low back pain (LBP) ranks among the first diseases in term of years lived with disability. The latest Clinical Guideline from the American College of Physicians for acute LBP recommends to select "nonpharmacologic treatment with superficial heat, massage, acupuncture or spinal manipulation". The application of superficial heat ("thermal therapy") may provide enough pain relief in the acute phase to remain active, which is recommended to prevent the development of chronicity. However, no studies have tested if the combination of heat and exercises provide additional benefit on short, middle and long-term follow-up in people with acute LBP. Hence, the main objective of this study is to determine the immediate, short-, middle- and long-term effect of continuous low-level thermal therapy in combination or not with exercises on pain, disability, and physical activity level in people with acute LBP. Project hypothesis : The Thermal care + Exercises group will show greater improvement in pain, disability and physical activity level than both Thermal care and Control groups for immediate, short-, middle- and long-term follow-ups. Sixty individuals with acute LBP will be recruited. This study will include six assessments over 6 months. At the baseline evaluation, participants will complete questionnaires on symptoms, disability, pain-related fear and self-efficacy. Afterwards, participants will be randomly assigned to one of three intervention programs: 1) Thermal care group, 2) Exercises + Thermal care group, and 3) Control group. They will immediately meet a physical therapist to review and perform their assigned program. Participants will then take part in their assigned 7-day intervention program, during which they will wear a fitness wristband to track physical activity level. Finally, the same outcomes will be reassessed to determine the effect of intervention at 1 week, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months after baseline.
The main purpose of the study is to assess the efficacy and safety of nemolizumab after a 16-week treatment period in adult and adolescent subjects with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD) not adequately controlled with topical treatments.
Rational : A lot of people in the province of Quebec suffer from Parkinson's disease and they are mostly vulnerable because they gradually lose their autonomy with the worsening of the disease. Physiotherapy was proven to be an effective treatment method for these patients. However, accessibility to care remains a major issue. Objective: This project aims to establish the clinical feasibility of a Tai chi rehabilitation program through tele rehabilitation to patients suffering of Parkinson's disease. Methodology : This pilot study will be conduct with a pre/post-test device. Therefore, to reach the objective, an evaluation will be done before the intervention and directly after the end of the 12 weeks program. Also, the obstacles encountered during the interventions will be noted in a logbook. Benefits: This is a priority research because its aim is to develop a care system that is efficient and accessible for a target population. The results of this study will confirm the possibility to put in place a telerehabilitation program who could reach, on a larger scale, more patients suffering from Parkinson's disease.
This multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled, parallel group study is being conducted to provide data on efficacy, safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics (PK) of multiple dose levels of PF-06882961 in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) inadequately controlled on metformin and/or diet and exercise. In addition, the study is intended to enable selection of efficacious doses for future clinical development of PF-06882961.
Internet-delivered cognitive behaviour therapy (ICBT) shows considerable promise as a convenient treatment for alcohol misuse. ICBT may differ in whether the user works alone (self-guided) or along with an individual who guides treatment (e.g., therapist/health educator). Guided ICBT involves completing online lessons over several weeks coupled with support from a guide in the form of emails, online messages and/or brief telephone calls. Self-guided ICBT allows users to complete lessons by themselves without any contact with a guide. In some studies, guided-ICBT has shown greater reductions in alcohol consumption than self-guided ICBT. Further, some research on alcohol treatment shows that assessment in itself may have an effect on alcohol consumption, a phenomenon referred to in the literature as "assessment reactivity". It is believed that verbalizing one's drinking problems to another person might lead to greater realization of the problem extent and severity, which in turn can lead to initiation of the change process. Experimental studies have shown that extended and frequent assessments lead to greater alcohol reductions compared to brief and infrequent assessments. Although ICBT for alcohol misuse is an attractive treatment option, it is not often available to clients as part of routine care. The Online Therapy Unit at the University of Regina is currently exploring extending services to include guided ICBT for alcohol misuse. The Unit has been providing treatment in ICBT for depression and anxiety as well as various health conditions since 2010 and has offered treatment to ~4200 individuals. The purpose of this study is to evaluate ICBT for individuals with alcohol misuse within the routine online clinic, and to investigate ways to optimize future modes of delivery. Of specific interest in this study, is how outcomes vary depending on whether or not weekly guidance from a health educator is available and whether or not an initial extended assessment telephone call is included or not compared to a briefer screening telephone call. Of interest will also be if the extended assessment leads to greater alcohol reductions and higher motivation pre-treatment.
This is a randomized double-blind vehicle-controlled Phase 3 study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of topical tapinarof cream, 1% once daily for the treatment of plaque psoriasis in adults. Approximately 500 adult subjects with plaque psoriasis will be randomized 2:1 to receive either tapinarof cream, 1% or matching vehicle cream once daily for 12 weeks.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and possible effectiveness of deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the nucleus accumbens in children with autism spectrum disorder and treatment-refractory, repetitive self-injurious behavior. Six (6) patients will be recruited and enrolled in this pilot study and study duration for each patient will be one (1) year. All will undergo surgical implantation of the Medtronic DBS system and will receive stimulation of the nucleus accumbens (2 electrodes per patient).This will be an open, non-blinded, non-randomized, pilot, phase I trial.Expected study duration is 36 months.
