This study is testing whether starting a specific exercise program soon after a stroke can help protect the brain and reduce the risk of memory loss and dementia. Researchers will compare two different 12-week exercise programs in 126 stroke survivors. They will measure changes i…

This study is testing whether an online training and peer support platform called 'Support' helps adults with type 1 diabetes manage their daily care. Researchers are comparing two groups: one where doctors recommend the platform as part of regular care, and another where people …

This study is testing a new tool called the DOvEEgene Fleur, designed to collect cell samples from inside the uterus more comfortably than the current method. The goal is to see if this new tool causes less pain for patients while still being effective at collecting cells that ca…

This study is looking at whether taking a cold bath right after a tough workout or waiting a few hours is better for helping athletes recover. Researchers will measure muscle strength, fatigue, and how the body uses protein after exercise. The goal is to find the best recovery me…

This study is testing a personalized feedback program designed to help university students who struggle with self-critical perfectionism. Participants track their daily stress, mood, and coping for a week, then receive a one-on-one session explaining their personal patterns. The …

This study is testing a new training program that uses virtual reality (VR) to help stroke survivors walk more confidently in their communities. Forty participants will practice walking in a virtual shopping mall and streets using VR goggles, combined with supervised real-world p…

This study is testing whether virtual reality walking therapy can help stroke survivors improve their ability to walk in everyday community settings. Forty participants will use VR headsets and a special treadmill to practice walking in simulated Montreal streets and malls for 4 …

This study aims to find out which type of exercise—cardio, strength training, or a mix of both—best improves sleep quality for people with Parkinson's disease. Researchers will enroll 150 participants with mild-to-moderate Parkinson's and poor sleep, assigning them to one of thre…

This study is testing if wearing a virtual reality headset showing calming scenes can reduce pain and distress for older adults during wound care. Up to 20 residents in a long-term care home will try the VR headsets during their routine wound dressing changes. Researchers will me…

This study aims to find out how much protein older, highly-trained cyclists need to eat after a workout to best support their recovery and training. Researchers will measure this in a small group of healthy men over 65 who cycle regularly. The goal is to gather better information…

This study aims to understand how physical exercise helps people with chronic low back pain. Researchers will compare a 12-week online exercise program to a waitlist group, measuring changes in pain, immune system activity, and brain function. The goal is to learn the biological …

This study is investigating whether listening to classical music helps medical students learn surgical skills. Forty students from Quebec universities will practice on a virtual reality brain surgery simulator, with half listening to Mozart. Researchers will measure if the music …

This small pilot study aims to understand if taking omeprazole, a common medication for heartburn and acid reflux, changes how the body absorbs protein from a meal. Healthy adults aged 50-60 will eat the same meal twice—once with the drug and once without—while researchers measur…

This study aims to find out how much protein adults with facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) need in their daily diet. Researchers will measure this in 10 participants using a safe, non-invasive breath test. The goal is to gather information that could help create bette…

This study aims to understand how different types of dementia develop and progress over time. Researchers are following over 1,500 people aged 50-90, including those with various dementia types and healthy individuals, across Canada. Participants undergo regular brain scans, memo…

This study aims to understand if newer automated insulin delivery systems affect eating behaviors and food-related stress in people with type 1 diabetes. Researchers will observe 106 youth and adults in Canada to see if these technologies allow for more flexibility with carb coun…

This research study aims to understand how a specific brain area helps people with Parkinson's disease transfer walking skills learned on a special treadmill to regular ground walking. Researchers will use non-invasive brain stimulation on 24 participants to see if boosting brain…
