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.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of two doses of Deucravacitinib in adult participants with Active Sjögren's Syndrome.
Hip fractures are common in elderly patients, and require surgery. Many elderly patients take anticoagulants for vasculopathy treatment. Anticoagulation precludes the use of neuraxial anesthesia because of the risk of epidural bleeding. Caudal anesthesia may be a safe and effective technique in anticoagulated emergency surgical patients. Quantitative analysis of prospective clinical data. Evaluation of caudal anesthesia efficacy for hip fracture surgery. Analysis of perioperative outcome, and postoperative course.
Caudal analgesia is an effective intervention for lumbosacral pain. Some chronic pain patients take anticoagulants for vasculopathy treatment. Anticoagulation limits the use of caudal analgesia because of the risk of epidural bleeding. Caudal analgesia may be safe and effective in anticoagulated chronic pain patients. Quantitative analysis of prospective clinical data. Evaluation of caudal analgesia efficacy and safety in anticoagulated chronic pain patients. Analysis of outcome, and complications.
A randomised, double-blind, placebo controlled study to evaluate the effect of PeptiStrong supplementation in conjunction with an exercise program to enhance muscle strength and endurance in young male and female subjects.
The presence of solid food or fluid residue in the stomach is always a major concern when patients require medical procedures under sedation or general anesthesia, due to the high risk of pulmonary aspiration of the stomach contents. This is especially important in emergency procedures, when a fasting period could not be observed. Pulmonary aspiration of gastric content is a serious perioperative complication of obstetric anesthesia, and it is associated with morbidity and mortality. Information from a bedside ultrasound assessment of the stomach may be a very useful resource to decide whether it's safe to proceed, cancel or delay a surgical procedure. The ultrasound assessment of the stomach content has shown to be very feasible and practical in non-pregnant patients. However, it has not been determined whether the competence reached by anesthesiologists in non-pregnant subjects can be transferred to the obstetric population, especially in term pregnant patients where it could be difficult to identify the stomach because of the presence of the gravid uterus. Although quantitative assessment of the gastric antrum cross-sectional area in terms of intra- and interrater reliability has been evaluated in non-pregnant adults, it remains to be evaluated in pregnant patients. Furthermore, it has not been determined whether the performance of novice operators is comparable to expert operators in the gastric quantitative assessment. This study aims to determine whether trained anesthesiologists can reliably assess the stomach content of pregnant patients by ultrasound, evaluating the inter- and intra-rater reliability of quantitative gastric ultrasound in term pregnant patients comparing anesthesiologists of different level of expertise. The investigators hypothesize a substantial to almost perfect agreement in the intra- and interrater reliability of the antral cross-sectional area among raters in term pregnant patients scheduled for elective cesarean delivery.
Cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIED) are established treatments for a variety of cardiac arrhythmias. Women with CIED have lower fitness and lower quality of life compared to men with CIED. Moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) is the most prescribed exercise for women. However, high-intensity interval training (HIIT) has been shown to improve fitness, anxiety levels, quality of life, and other health indicators over MICT in men with CIED. There is a need to quantitatively evaluate the feasibility and effects of a virtual HIIT vs. virtual MICT program on the physical, quality of life, and mental health of women with CIED. Furthermore, a qualitative approach is also necessary to understand patients' experiences, barriers, and facilitators of a virtual exercise intervention. This mixed-methods pilot randomized controlled trial will assess the feasibility of a 12-week virtual HIIT and MICT program in women with CIED.
Chronic Pain is one of the most common reasons adults seek medical care, and has been linked to restrictions in mobility and daily activities, dependence on opioids, anxiety and depression, and poor perceived health or reduced quality of life. Chronic Pain Clinics are an effective solution, however, the resources available and investments have fallen behind the growing needs of patients. Local waitlists have thousands of patients with wait times between 1 to 3 years, with many receiving little to no specialized support while waiting. Tools and technology that can help patients and healthcare providers understand and manage the patients' pain are needed for the effectiveness of the healthcare system. In response to this problem, the Manage My Pain (MMP) App, which allows patients to log daily reflections of functionality, pain, and medication use; as well as, provide educational resources is a potential support for patients on the waitlist. This log is intended to support the patient understanding and management of their pain, and share their reports with their circle of care. This study will assess the impact of MMP on waitlist patients' health outcomes compared to a control group of waitlist patients over 60 days.
Chronic pain is associated with mental disorders, and some patients have behavioral issues. Some patients may sexually or racially harass pain clinic staff. Healthcare staff do not usually report sexual or racial harassment perpetrated by patients. Quantitative and qualitative analysis of prospective electronic and clinic diary data. Evaluation of incidents of sexual and racial harassment of clinic staff; perpetrated by patients. Analysis of causative factors, incident outcome, system factors and lessons learned.
Local muscle endurance (LME) is the ability of a muscle(s) to resist fatigue and is needed for daily activities of life such as climbing stairs, lifting/moving objects, and in sport contexts like rock climbing, mixed martial arts, cross-fit, kayaking and canoeing. Therefore, the investigators want learn how to improve LME and understand what in human bodies changes during exercise training to cause these changes. The investigators know that lifting weights improves muscle strength which is believed to improve LME. Specifically lifting less heavy weights (LLRET) for more repetitions leads to greater gains in LME opposed to heavier weights for fewer repetitions. Therefore, lifting less heavy weights likely causes greater changes in our muscles than lifting heavier weights that cause improvements in LME. Aerobic exercise preformed at high intensities in an interval format (HIIT) may also help improve LME by increasing our muscle's ability to produce energy during exercise. Therefore, the investigators want to see which of LLRET or HIIT leads to greater improvements in LME.
