Filter by:This interventional study was designed to assess the validity and the impact of a rehabilitation program on pediatric cancer patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cells transplantation (HSCT). Each participant will be randomly assigned to either an experimental or control (counseling rehabilitation care) group. The experimental group participate in an inpatient rehabilitation program for the duration of HSCT pathway. The program include standardized activities for 5 days a week in the child's room or in a pediatric gym at the hospital.
Adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with cancer have many needs for supportive care that differ from younger and older patients.This includes age-appropriate psychological support for management of distress, as well as supports for the social isolation many AYAs experience. One intervention that may provide AYAs with cancer improved psychosocial support, as well as increased physical strength, is physical activity. This feasibility project aims to evaluate the safety, feasibility and acceptability of a physical activity training in AYAs with cancer delivered via a socially interactive videoconferencing platform.
The investigators aim to measure the impact of a rehabilitation program in congenital cardiology in terms of health related quality of life. The orginality of the rehabilitation program consists in its design : initial hospitalizationfor a short period of time (5 days) at the rehabilitation center, followed by 11 weeks of rehabilitation at home under the supervision of a specialized sports trainer.
Randomized, double-blind, active-controlled, parallel-group study of HTD1801 in adolescents.
This study aims to explore the impacts of CHD and its limitations on adolescents and the living experience of adolescents living with CHD. Hong Kong Chinese adolescents with CHD are having reduced psychological well-being and quality of life than their healthy counterparts. Qualitative study is therefore needed to explore how CHD may impact on the adolescents' psychological well-being and quality of life.
The investigators recently observed airway inflammation and increased damage-associated molecular pattern (DAMP) level in sputum of children (age 11-12y) and adolescents (18-23y) from elite sport programs in Belgium with increased risk of bronchoconstriction upon extreme exercise. They here want to validate these findings in a cohort 13-18y.
The aims of this study are to (1) identify inflammatory/neurotrophic and neurodevelopmental markers that predict antidepressant response and suicidal risk in depressed youth and (2) predict their treatment response and the occurrence of suicidal events at the individual level using machine learning approach.
This RCT aims to investigate the effect of an early family-based intervention (VIA Family) focusing on reducing risk and increasing resilience for children in families where at least one parent has a severe mental illness.The study is a randomized clinical trial including 100 children age 6-12 with familial high risk.The children and their parents will be assessed at baseline and thereafter randomized and allocated to either Treatment as Usual or VIA Family.
Background: Seventy percent of lifetime cases of mental illness emerge prior to age 24. While early detection and intervention can address approximately 70% of child and youth cases of mental health concerns, the majority of youth with mental health concerns do not receive the services they need. Objective: This project will evaluate the impact of Thought Spot upon intentions and self-efficacy in help-seeking for mental health concerns among transition aged youth (youth aged 17-29) enrolled full-time or part-time at a college or university in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), compared with a control group (who receive usual care; resource pamphlet). Methods: A two-group partially blinded pre-post randomized controlled study will be done to evaluate the impact of the digital platform, Thought Spot, on transition-aged youths' intentions to help-seek. Measurements will be taken over a 6 month period: baseline, 3 months, and 6 months. 472 participants who are enrolled part-time or full-time at one of 3 participating post-secondary institutions (George Brown College, Ryerson University, University of Toronto) who are interested in maintaining or managing their mental health will be recruited and randomized to the intervention arm or the control arm. The intervention group participants will have access to the Thought Spot platform. The control group participants will receive a pamphlet that outlines mental health services and wellness services across the GTA. Both groups will also have access to usual care. Results: The investigators are testing the hypothesis that 1) transition-aged youth who receive the intervention will show a greater improvement in intentions and self-efficacy in help-seeking for mental health concerns than those who are allocated to the control group; and 2) participants in the intervention arm will also show greater improvements in health literacy, including awareness of available services and supports, increased self-efficacy in managing their mental health concerns, and a reduction in mental health stigma, compared to the control arm.
Clavicle fractures in children are common. Typical treatment includes nonoperative treatment with a sling. Operative treatment is usually limited to open, unstable, fractures with either epidermal risks or neurovascular compromise. Orthopaedic literature has many studies that report the need for additional research for this prevalent fracture. This is an observational study evaluating the functional and patient reported outcomes of displaced clavicle fractures in adolescents. The results from this study will help the orthopedist understand the expected outcomes for a given pediatric patient with a clavicle fracture.
