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.
Movement disorders are a group of neurological conditions that cause problems with movement, either in the form of excessive, reduced, or slow movements. Some commonly known movement disorders include Parkinson disease, dystonia, ataxia, and Tourette syndrome. Multiple movement disorders have unique handwriting characteristics that can be measured using an inkless pen and a digitalized tablet. Handwriting is a complex skill that requires a combination of cognition, motor planning, and visuomotor integration. Handwriting deteriorates in patients with neurodegenerative diseases. This study aims to discern variations in the kinematics (movement patterns) involved in handwriting between individuals with movement disorders and healthy controls. Participants will be invited to carry out a series of handwriting tasks. The pen motions will be captured using an inkless pen and a digitizing tablet linked to a laptop. The entire set of tasks is designed to be completed within 30 minutes. The data will then be collected, processed, and analyzed utilizing a handwriting analysis software.
This is a Phase 2a, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study with an open-label extension to evaluate the efficacy and safety of camoteskimab in adults with moderate to severe AD.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect on airway inflammation and JAK1-associated signalling pathways of AZD4604 compared with placebo in participants with moderate-to-severe asthma. Study details include: - The study duration for each participant will be approximately 10 weeks. - The duration of IMP administration will be approximately 4 weeks.
Choose to Move (CTM) is a 3-month, choice-based health-promoting program for low active older adults being scaled-up across British Columbia (BC), Canada. In this project, the investigators will expand delivery of the optimized Phase 4 program with large and small partner organizations and will describe and assess scale-up, implementation, and impact of CTM Phase 4.
This is a sequential multiple assignment randomized trial for adults (ages > 18) with a bipolar disorder type 1 diagnosis currently experiencing a depressive episode. It is a randomized pragmatic trial that will compare four commonly prescribed treatments for bipolar depression, which includes three FDA-approved medications (Cariprazine, Quetiapine and Lurasidone) and one antipsychotic/antidepressant combination (Aripiprazole/Escitalopram).
The research aims to compare diagnosis of ovulation and anovulation in 2D and 3D ultrasonography.
The objective of this clinical trial is to assess manual therapists' attitudes towards using a sensing-glove system for measuring spinal manipulation force and to compare the effectiveness of two interventions in enhancing their attitudes. The primary questions it aims to address are: - Are manual therapists receptive to employing a sensing-glove system to measure the force applied during spinal manipulations on patients? - Can we enhance manual therapists' attitudes towards this system through either a brief informational video demonstration or a supervised practice session with the system? Researchers will compare the impact of a 7-minute informational video to that of a 20-minute supervised practice session to determine if manual therapists' attitudes towards the use of a sensing-glove while treating their patients can be positively influenced. Participants will: - Engage in a single experimental session. - Complete a questionnaire at the beginning of the experimental session. - Undergo one of the two interventions and promptly complete two questionnaires following this intervention. - Undergo the other intervention and promptly complete the same two questionnaires following this intervention.
The goal of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of GSK5733584. The study will also see how the levels of GSK5733584 change over time at different dose amount.
This is a randomized clinical trial to test the effectiveness of combining a proven psychological intervention called behavioural activation therapy alongside esketamine treatment for treatment resistant major depressive episodes in individuals with major depressive disorder or bipolar disorder. Encouraging participants to practice new behaviours while their mood is improved through esketamine treatment may lead to more lasting recovery from depression.
Masters level cyclists are a population above the age of 35 years who frequently participate in prolonged as well as heavy-volume training. Like most endurance-trained athletes, a greater recommended dietary allowance (RDA) for protein of 1.2-1.4 g/kg/bw is suggested. Dietary protein intake is vital for maximizing the benefits of training and ensuring optimal recovery. Dietary recommendations traditionally have been determined through nitrogen balance techniques, however, recent research indicates how this method is potentially underestimating protein requirements. Therefore, there is a need to reassess current dietary recommendations in order to meet the demands of physical activity for highly active populations. Recent efforts to understand protein requirements during rest and following exercise have been completed using the indicator amino acid technique (IAAO). This non-invasive method is reported to provide a robust measure of protein requirements. However, there is limited work in older (≥60 years) active populations. The purpose of this study is to measure the protein requirements in master cyclists, following an endurance training session, using the non-invasive IAAO technique.
