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.
Study will investigate the impact of training volume on protein metabolism to estimate the impact on daily protein requirements of endurance athletes.
Green coffee extract (GCE) supplementation has been shown to induce favourable health benefits on glucose metabolism and weight management. Previous literature suggests that the benefits of GCE are due to the high bioavailability of chlorogenic acid (CGA) which is known for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties but is destroyed during the bean roasting process used to make coffee in Western societies. While some studies examining chronic and high-dose GCE supplementation (4-12 weeks) report beneficial effects on glucose handling and reductions in body mass following supplementation, comparably less is known about the effect of acute (single dose) GCE supplementation. The purpose of the current study is to determine the impact of acute supplementation of GCE on blood sugar levels following consumption of a carbohydrate drink in healthy adults. A secondary objective is to evaluate the effect of GCE on insulin levels, other measures of glucose metabolism, and appetite perceptions.
The purpose of this prospective interventional study is to compare post-intravitreal injection pain between eyes receiving topical bromfenac versus artificial tears as an analgesic after intravitreal injection.
The goal of this experimental study is to examine the impact of a virtual reality paradigm on heat pain perception in healthy volunteers. The main question it aims to answer is to determine if the virtual reality paradigm reduces pain intensity and unpleasantness evoked by tonic heat pain stimulation. Tonic heat pain stimulation is applied on the left forearm of participants using a Peltier thermode immediately before, during and immediately after virtual reality exposure. Using a with-subject design, participants are sequentially exposed to both the virtual reality condition and an active control condition. The order of administration of the virtual reality and control conditions is randomized.
This study is to assess the Onset of Action and Efficacy of azelastine hydrochloride 0.15% in treating the nasal symptoms of seasonal allergic rhinitis (SAR) induced by an allergen challenge in an Environmental Exposure Unit (EEU) followed by a single dose and a 3-day treatment at home.
To evaluate and compare the plaque removal efficacy of a battery-powered toothbrush and a manual toothbrush following a single brushing.
A Phase 1, Randomized, Rater and Participant Blinded Placebo Controlled Study to Evaluate the Safety, Reactogenicity, Tolerability and Immunogenicity of a Standard and a Fractional Dose of H1 Influenza Vaccine Delivered by VX-103 (a MIMIX Microneedle Array Patch (MAP) System) in Healthy Adults ≥18-39 Years of Age
This mixed-methods parallel two-arm trial assessed the feasibility, appropriateness, and acceptability of a theoretically-informed intervention designed to improve perspective-taking skills in preparation for a future definitive randomized control trial. Using a 1:1 allocation ratio, student participants (N = 163) in Respiratory, Physical, and Occupational Therapy; Nurse Practitioner; and Kinesiology programs at a Canadian university were randomly assigned to full or partial intervention conditions. Full intervention participants completed an online workshop on perspective-taking and practiced perspective-taking prior to an in-lab 10-minute dialogue with a trained client-actor (masked to condition) about the actor's physical inactivity. Partial intervention participants received the workshop after the dialogue, and were instructed to be aware and mindful of the approach that they took to seek understanding. To be considered feasible, outcomes needed to meet or surpass our criteria (e.g., within-course recruitment: 85-95% of a course when embedded within a course, 5-10% when not embedded). Feasibility and appropriateness were assessed by comparing recruitment rates, protocol, and psychometric outcomes to criteria. Acceptability was assessed by analyzing exit interviews. Recruitment rates, protocol, and psychometric outcomes largely met criteria, and the study was acceptable.
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death among women and women with chronic kidney disease are at an even greater risk of CVD. The aim of this observational study is to examine the relationship between total testosterone levels and measures of vascular function (pulse wave velocity, aortic augmentation index, flow mediated dilation and velocity time integral) in reproductive-aged women living with chronic kidney disease.
In this study, a known medicine called 'semaglutide' will be tested in two different tablet versions. The two tablets differ in the way these have been manufactured. The aim of the study is to investigate the amount of active ingredient in the blood after dosing the different tablet versions. Participants will receive one tablet version for 10 days (first treatment period) and the other version for 10 days (second treatment period). The treatment arm participants will be assigned to is decided by chance. The study will last for about 23 weeks for each participant. The study will enroll healthy male participants.
