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 motor development in three groups of infants (controls, DCD, DCD+ASD) before the age of 2 years using retrospective video analysis of infants in home video contexts.
Tools are limited to help health care professionals talk about weight-related issues with their pediatric patients. The investigators have developed 6 whiteboard videos for health care professionals based on the 5As of Pediatric Obesity Management to address weight-related issues with pediatric patients and their families. This study aims to evaluate the videos using pre and post questionnaires. With the questionnaires, the investigators want to evaluate the content, quality (acceptability, engagement) and impact of patient-oriented educational videos on HCPs' self-efficacy/confidence and knowledge in regards to addressing weight-related issues with pediatric patients and their families using the 5A framework.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and immune response to a single intramuscular (IM) dose of GSK Biologicals' investigational RSV maternal vaccine (RSVPreF3) in healthy pregnant women 18-40 years of age and in infants born to vaccinated mothers.
B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) is a target present on tumor cells in participants with multiple myeloma. Belantamab mafodotin (GSK2857916); is an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) containing humanized anti-BCMA monoclonal antibody (mAb). This is a phase I/II, randomized, open-label, platform study designed to evaluate the effects of belantamab mafodotin in combination with other anti-cancer drugs in participants with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma. The Platform design incorporates a single master protocol, where multiple treatment combinations, as sub-studies, will be evaluated simultaneously.
The study aims to determine a diagnostic marker for regionally impaired myocardial oxygenation response in patients with suspected coronary artery stenosis.
Several instruments have been developed by clinicians and academics specialized in mental health and psychiatry to assess clinical recovery in terms of symptom reduction. Based on their life narratives, measurement tools have also been developed and validated through participatory research programs by persons living with mental health problems or illnesses to assess a more personal experience of recovery as a way of leaving a meaningful and satisfying life despite and beyond ongoing disorders and symptoms of mental illness. Other instruments have also been developed to assess the degree to which mental health and psychiatric institutions are recovery-oriented. The overall aim of this project is to explore correlations between clinical recovery, personal recovery and this latter organizational recovery.
The purpose of the MycarinGstudy is to evaluate the long-term safety, tolerability and long-term efficacy of rozanolixizumab in study participants with generalized myasthenia gravis (MG).
Cricothyroid membrane (CTM) localization is a critical step prior to emergent surgical airway access. Ultrasound-guided localization of the CTM on the skin of the neck had been suggested prior to induction of general anesthesia so that a marked entry point can be used to quickly establish emergent front of neck access if required. In this prospective observational study, the investigators aim to determine the potential for migration of the CTM markings in the sagittal plane during neck repositioning.
Different studies have revealed different success rates and patient satisfaction after cervical facet C-RF. In a study on 32 patients, with 15 months follow up, 25% had complete pain relief (8). Another study had shown mean pain relief of 12.5 months and 11.5 months following a repeat procedure, with an effectiveness of 95% in 47 patients (8). In one study a success rate of 88% after first RF, and 86% following a repeat RF in 49 patients with facet mediated cervicogenic headache. They regarded the absence of anesthesia in the distribution of the 3rd occipital nerve, a technical failure (9). In a study from New Zealand, demonstrated cervical facet RF as the sole treatment modality, produced 61% -74% complete pain relief with a median duration of 15-17 months in patients who had responded to facet joints diagnostic block (10). One more study in 2012 has demonstrated high voltage P-RF had a higher short-term effect compare to usual voltage, but results are still lower than C-RF (11). A double blind randomized prospective study has illustrated P-RF did not show any success rate in 6 months pain control, whereas C-RF had 95% pain control for trigeminal neuralgia (12). Cohen in a recent study has compared P-RF with steroid injection for occipital neuralgia or migraine with occipital nerve tenderness (13). Six weeks pain relief was 61% in P-RF group, and 36% in steroid injection group, with a positive outcome of 34%, and 26% respectively (13). One study on 2010 had reached to 52.6%, 6 months pain improvement on occipital neuralgia (14).
Risk prediction in in inherited heart rhythm conditions that may cause sudden cardiac arrest or death is difficult. Sometimes the risks may be low but the loss of life in an otherwise healthy young individual is catastrophic. Clinicians often treat to the extreme to prevent this and so often those at unknown risk for a serious cardiac event are treated with an implanted cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) to protect against sudden death even though the risk is low or unknown. ICDs them selves are not without adverse events such as needing battery replacements, mechanical complications, inappropriate shocks and body image and self esteem issues for the patient. This study will use an inject able monitor that is less invasive to monitor inherited heart rhythm patients long term to help gather long term heart rhythm data (3 years) on patients with an inherited heart rhythm that will help to detect symptoms of dangerous heart rhythms so that the appropriate care can be provided.
