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 "Holistic Individualized Treatment" (HIT) approach is used to identify treatment priorities, focus areas, and appropriate products for soft tissue filler treatments. The "Profile HIT" considers the balance between the midface, nose, lips, and chin to improve a patient's appearance. This trial will assess the effectiveness of the Profile HIT algorithm in treating patients with different profile issues (e.g. nasal deformities, volume loss, chin retrusion).
This study is open to adults with moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). The purpose of this study is to find out whether a medicine called spesolimab helps people with HS. People who have previously taken specific medicines such as immunosuppressive biologics other than Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors cannot take part. This study has 2 parts. In Part 1, participants are divided into 4 groups of almost equal size. 3 groups get different doses of spesolimab, 1 group gets placebo. All participants get injections into a vein or under the skin. Placebo injections look like spesolimab injections, but do not contain any medicine. Every participant has an equal chance of being in each group. In the beginning, participants get the study medicine every week and later every 2 weeks. After 4 months, participants in the placebo group switch to spesolimab treatment. In Part 2, participants are divided into 2 groups. One group gets a suitable dose of spesolimab that was found in Part 1 of the study. The other group gets placebo. After 4 months, participants in the placebo group switch to spesolimab treatment. Participants join only one of the two parts. They are in the study for about 1 year. During this time, they visit the study site in the beginning every week and later every 2 weeks. Some of the visits can be done at the participant's home instead of the study site. The doctors regularly check participants' HS symptoms. The results are compared between the groups to see whether spesolimab works. The doctors also regularly check participants' general health and take note of any unwanted effects.
The purpose of this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study is to assess the efficacy of BIA 28-6156 over placebo in delaying clinical meaningful motor progression over 78 weeks in subjects with Parkinson's disease who have a pathogenic variant in the glucocerebrosidase 1 (GBA1) gene (GBA-PD).
Study RAD-GRIN-101 is a phase 1B trial to assess safety, tolerability, PK, and potential efficacy of radiprodil for the treatment of GRIN-related disorder in children with a Gain-of-Function (GoF) genetic variant. The study is open-label, so all participants will be treated with radiprodil. Subjects' participation in the study is expected to last up to six months in Part A. After the end of part A, all participants who are still eligible can choose to continue to receive radiprodil as part of an open-label long-term treatment period (Part B).
Aim of the EndPaRL study is to compare the efficacy and effectiveness of the two techniques utilizing sharp straight conventional radiofrequency needle with a trident needle for radiofrequency neurotomy of Cervical Medial Branch Nerves (CMBNs), in patients presenting with chronic, moderate-to-severe, neck pain due to cervical zygapophyseal joint osteoarthritis, as diagnosed by positive responses to two consecutive diagnostic blocks with local anesthetic of the CMBN.
This is a single site, single-blinded, controlled randomized crossover clinical trial designed to compare the effects of black beans or whole grains or white rice at breakfast on postprandial vascular responses in males and females with arterial stiffness (n=10). Eligible participants will be asked to attend 3 in-person visits for comparative testing of black beans versus whole grains versus white rice.
This multicenter, prospective, interventional trial is designed to assess the outcome of subjects with symptomatic knee osteoarthritis (OA) that are randomized to treatment with either genicular artery embolization (GAE) using Embosphere Microspheres or steroid injection over a period of 24 months.
The goal of this randomized trial is to test the impact of mailing personalized prescribing Portraits (an audit and feedback tool) and Therapeutics Letters (a reference document) to physicians on first-line prescribing to patients with uncomplicated urinary tract infection (UTI) . The main question this study aims to answer is: • To what extent can personal prescribing feedback Portraits and Therapeutics Letters have an effect on how physicians prescribe antibiotics for uncomplicated UTI? Approximately 5,000 British Columbian Family Practitioners (FP's) have been randomly divided into three groups, and each group received the Portrait at different times. To help ascertain the possible impact of Portraits, pooled data on first-line prescribing for uncomplicated UTI by FP's who received the Portrait at an early time point (September 23, 2021) will be compared to that of those who received a Portrait at a delayed time point (March 28, 2022). Researchers will compare prescribing data from these groups to see if the prescribing Portraits have had a differential impact on prescribing of antibiotics for uncomplicated UTI.
Post-stroke deficits are highly common and functional impairment persists throughout life after stroke. Skeletal muscle mass and strength are fundamental contributors to mobility throughout the adult life course. Stroke-related muscle atrophy contributes to loss of strength, and declines in lower extremity function, cardiorespiratory fitness, and walking independence and post-stroke sarcopenia. Improving the quantity and function of skeletal muscle needs to be an important therapeutic target after stroke. Resistance exercise training (RET) has been shown to increase skeletal muscle mass, strength and power, reduce oxidative stress, improve cardiac function, and better regulate lipids after stroke. However, the feasibility and the effects of a power focused RET program for individuals with stroke need to be examined.
This study aims to investigate the patients' perception of the negative impact of the healthcare industry on climate change, their attitude of climate change and their health, and their view of seeing a change in the healthcare system to reduce climate change.
