This study tests whether starting a special exercise program soon after a stroke can help protect the brain from memory loss and dementia. Researchers will work with 126 people who had a stroke in the last 6 months. Participants will do a mix of exercises, and their thinking skil…

This study tests a new tool called the DOvEEgene Fleur that collects cells from inside the uterus to detect cancers of the endometrium, tubes, and ovaries early. The goal is to see if it causes less pain than the current brush while still getting enough cells for accurate testing…

This study tests an online training and support platform designed to help adults with type 1 diabetes better manage their condition. About 322 participants will use the platform for 12 months, either through their usual clinic care or on their own. Researchers will measure change…

This study looks at how different types of exercise—like cardio, strength training, or a mix of both—affect sleep quality in people with Parkinson's disease. Researchers will track 150 participants over 12 weeks, measuring sleep with both sleep lab tests and questionnaires. The g…

This study tests whether a one-hour personalized feedback session can help university students who struggle with perfectionism feel more empowered and less stressed. Participants will fill out daily diaries for a week and then receive a custom slideshow explaining their stress an…

This study tests whether using a virtual reality headset showing calming scenes (like puppies in a meadow) can reduce pain and discomfort for older adults in long-term care during wound dressing changes. About 20 residents will use VR during routine wound care for two weeks, with…

This study tests whether a 4-week program combining virtual reality (VR) and real-world walking practice can help stroke survivors walk more confidently in places like shopping malls and streets. Forty adults who had a stroke 9-24 months ago will use VR goggles and game controlle…

This small study looks at whether omeprazole, a common heartburn medication, changes how well the body absorbs protein from a meal. Four healthy adults aged 50-60 will eat a protein-rich meal with and without the drug, and researchers will measure amino acid levels in their blood…

This study looks at how newer insulin delivery systems, like automated insulin pumps, affect eating behaviors in people with type 1 diabetes. Researchers want to see if these technologies reduce the burden of carbohydrate counting and lower the risk of disordered eating. About 10…

This study looks at how much protein adults with facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) need each day to support their muscles. FSHD causes progressive muscle loss, and getting enough protein is key for muscle maintenance. Researchers will use a safe, non-invasive method t…

This study follows 1,573 Canadians aged 50–90 with various types of dementia or normal memory to track how brain health changes over time. Participants complete memory tests, brain scans, and provide blood samples. The goal is to better understand different forms of dementia, not…

This study looks at whether taking a cold bath right after exercise or waiting a bit helps athletes recover better and use protein more effectively. Twelve healthy athletes who do regular strength training will take part. The goal is to find the best timing for cold-water immersi…

This study tests whether adding virtual reality (VR) walking exercises to standard therapy is practical and well-liked by stroke patients and their therapists. About 40 adults who had a stroke will do personalized VR training twice a week for 4 weeks. The goal is to see if this a…

This study looks at whether stimulating a specific brain area (the posterior parietal cortex) can help people with Parkinson's disease transfer walking skills learned on a treadmill to walking on the ground. 24 participants will receive either real or fake brain stimulation to co…

This study looks at how a 12-week online exercise program changes the brain and immune system in people with chronic low back pain. Researchers will compare these changes to a group that does not exercise. The goal is to understand why exercise helps some people with back pain. P…
