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.
Given the known driving behavior of Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol and some of its parallel to driving under the influence of cannabis, this supplemental study aims to validate the sensitivity of the primary and secondary outcome measures employed in a cannabis and driving study currently in progress.
The purpose of this pilot study is to explore whether the Back to Reality series of video games - Harry's Journey, Harry's Journal, and Pathways to care map - increase knowledge of the emotional, social, and psychiatric sequelae of problematic underage marijuana use among homeless and street involved youth. Additional objectives were to explore whether the video games promote awareness of the risk of psychosis associated with regular marijuana use among vulnerable youth.
The purpose is to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of IONIS ANGPTL3-LRx (ISIS 703802) given to healthy volunteer subjects with elevated triglycerides and subjects with familial hypercholesterolemia.
Evaluating the efficacy of vortioxetine 10 mg/day and 20 mg/day versus placebo on depressive symptoms in adolescents (age ≥12 and ≤17 years) with a DSM-5™ (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th edition) diagnosis of Major depressive disorder (MDD).
The loss of motivation has emerged as a critical symptom in schizophrenia that is consistently linked to functional disability for affected individuals. Despite advances in treatment, there have not emerged any effective treatments for this loss of motivation, which ultimately hinders our ability to promote recovery for individuals with schizophrenia. To address this critical unmet therapeutic need, this study aims to investigate a novel computerized motivation rehabilitation program using virtual reality to treat motivation loss in schizophrenia.
Investigation of the efficacy and safety of a new potential treatment of Major depressive disorder (MDD) in paediatric participants (age 7 to 11 years).
Evaluate and compare the changes in brain ketone and glucose uptake after taking two different MCT oil emulsions (60-40 oil or C8 oil) for one month, in a group of people with Alzheimer's disease and a control group.
This study compares two different types of speculum insertion to determine the level of discomfort they might cause. This study compares the straight horizontal insertion (SHI) of the speculum and the vertical insertion and rotation (VIR). Participants are randomly assigned to one of the two insertion groups and are not told which group they are in until the examination is over. Participants rate their level of discomfort immediately after insertion of the speculum. Basic demographic information (e.g., age, ethnicity, number of vaginal deliveries, menopausal status, etc.) and clinical information are also collected to determine if other factors influence the level of discomfort experienced. *NOTE* This is NOT a paid study.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of a 3-month walking program on brain energy metabolism in patient with mild Alzheimer's disease (AD). Two groups of sedentary patients with mild AD are followed and compared over a 3-month period of time: Control (non-active) and walking (from 15 to 45 minutes of exercise on a treadmill, 3 times a week for 12 weeks) groups. All the participants are evaluated on their cognition, brain volumes (MRI) and brain fuel consumption (PET scan with 18-FDG and 11C-AcAc) at the beginning and at the end of the study.
A new era of outcomes for pediatric burn patients has begun as burn care continues to improve. Unfortunately, complete restoration of burn-injured skin may be limited by the development of hypertrophic scarring. Treatment with laser therapy is one of the newest forms of scar therapy available. Although laser therapy has only been adopted by burn clinicians within the last several years, early evidence suggests that it may offer significant benefits. Thus the aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of using laser therapy to treat hypertrophic burn scars in pediatric patients by using a comprehensive set of subjective and objective scar assessment tools.
