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 study compares the infraclavicular approach to supraclavicular approach of brachial plexus block for elbow surgery.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether cNEP (continuous positive external pressure) is effective in treating obstructive sleep apnea
Tumours affecting the brain are a very heterogeneous group of diseases. Accordingly, treatment strategies vary widely depending on child's age, tumour location, its resectability and histology. As a group, however, the survival rate of childhood brain tumors has improved in recent years, resulting in an increased number of survivors returning to school and reintegrating into their communities. Survival for many of them, however, has also come with severe costs such as neurocognitive and academic difficulties. Cognitive rehabilitation strategies to address these deficits have been a major focus of recent research. Evidence is now also mounting for social competence deficits among this population which may persist into late adolescence and adulthood, thereby negatively affecting long-term survivorship. Thus, there is an urgency to identify psychosocial interventions, such as social skills programs, that can reduce the social competence deficits in childhood brain tumor survivors and, therefore, modify the course of these outcomes to ensure that survivors thrive and become productive members of society. To date, no rigorous social skills intervention trials have been undertaken to address the social difficulties of these survivors. The current proposal is the first study that aims to address this gap by evaluating the efficacy of an innovative, manualized, social skills intervention program developed for this population using a multi-centre Randomized Control Trial (RCT).
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled, multi-center study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and potential effects of dietary supplement Violet™ Iodine on breast health in women with cyclic breast discomfort and tenderness to eliminate the evaluation of effectiveness.
This study will be investigating the effects of fesoterodine on autonomic dysreflexia (AD) in patients with spinal cord injuries (SCI). The goal of the study is to examine the effect of increasing daily use of fesoterodine on episodes of high blood pressure triggered by urinary bladder contractions.
The primary objectives of this study are to compare the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of upadacitinib 30 mg once daily (QD) and 15 mg QD versus placebo for the treatment of signs and symptoms of adults with moderately to severely active rheumatoid arthritis who were on a stable dose of csDMARDs and had an inadequate response to csDMARDs.
The purpose of the research is to determine whether repairing a tricuspid valve (TV) in patients with mild to moderate tricuspid regurgitation (TR), at the time of planned mitral valve surgery (MVS), would improve the heart health of those who receive it compared to those who do not. At this point, the medical community is split in their opinion on whether surgeons should routinely repair mild to moderate TR in patients who are undergoing planned mitral valve surgery, and this study will answer this question.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of abemaciclib plus trastuzumab with or without fulvestrant versus trastuzumab plus physicians choice standard of care chemotherapy in women with hormone receptor positive (HR+), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 positive (HER2+) locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer after prior exposure to at least two HER2-directed therapies for advanced disease.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the feasibility and acceptability of the Standardized Goal Attainment Scaling menu for Hemophilia (GAS-Hem) as a patient reported outcome (PRO) measure to monitor clinical progress in participant-identified goal areas in individuals with hemophilia A.
A post-concussion syndrome (PCS) diagnosis has historically led to a recommendation of continued mental and physical rest to minimize symptoms. However, this conservative approach does not consider the pathophysiological mechanisms and neurological subsystem dysfunction which mediate persistent signs and symptoms. Recently, developing research is recommending targeted therapies for specific post-concussion disorders (physiologic, vestibulo-ocular and cervicogenic). The Buffalo Concussion Treadmill Test (BCTT) is a graded aerobic test that has emerged as safe, reliable, and effective in distinguishing between post-concussion syndrome sub-types, quantifying physiological recovery, and guiding return to play decision making. It has been proposed that the results of a BCTT can be used to prescribe progressively intensifying whole body aerobic exercise (such as walking or biking), maintained at a sub-symptom threshold, to improve autoregulatory function with the potential to improve PCS symptoms. Positive results with BCTT have now made it the standard of care at the University of Buffalo Concussion Clinic and Pan Am Clinic during the management of sport related concussions. Despite its increased use in patients with post-concussion syndrome there is currently no data on the use of exercise treatment in the early stages of concussion recovery.
