This study tests whether starting a special exercise program soon after a stroke can protect the brain from memory loss and dementia. Researchers will enroll 120 people who had a stroke in the past 6 months. Participants will do a mix of exercises, and the study will measure chan…

This study tests whether an online training and support platform can help adults with type 1 diabetes better manage their blood sugar and well-being. About 322 participants across Canada will use the platform for 12 months, either as part of their usual clinic care or on their ow…

This study tests a new device called DOvEEgene Fleur for collecting cells from inside the uterus to detect cancers of the endometrium, tubes, and ovaries. The goal is to see if it is less painful and easier to use than the current brush, while still collecting enough cells for ac…

This study tests a program called BRIDGE for mothers with depression and their children aged 3-7 who have attention or behavior problems. The program aims to improve children's self-control and reduce problem behaviors by supporting mothers' mental health. About 60 families will …

This study looks at whether different types of exercise—like cardio, strength training, or a mix—can help people with Parkinson's disease sleep better. Researchers will track sleep quality and brain activity during sleep in 150 participants over 12 weeks. The goal is to find whic…

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. Up to 20 residents will use VR for two weeks, with pain and mood measured be…

This study tests a 4-week program that combines virtual reality training in a simulated shopping mall with real-world walking practice for stroke survivors. The goal is to improve community ambulation and participation. Forty chronic stroke survivors will be enrolled, and researc…

This study tests whether giving university students personalized feedback about their daily stress and coping patterns can improve their well-being. About 200 perfectionistic students will be randomly assigned to receive one of two types of feedback, both, or none. The feedback i…

This study uses a calf brain model with built-in sensors to measure the forces surgeons apply during a simulated brain surgery procedure. Researchers aim to understand how much force is used with different tools, which has never been measured in a realistic setting. Medical stude…

This study is checking if a 7-year program by World Vision helps improve nutrition, gender equality, and health access for women, teenage girls, and young children in rural areas of Bangladesh, Kenya, and Tanzania. About 13,500 people will take part, including women, their partne…

This study looks at how a 12-week online exercise program changes the body and brain in people with chronic low back pain. Researchers will compare exercise participants to a waitlist group and also study healthy volunteers. Participants will fill out surveys, give blood samples,…

This study tests whether virtual reality (VR) training can help people recovering from a stroke improve their walking skills. Forty participants will practice community walking tasks in a virtual environment for 4 weeks. The main goal is to see if this approach is feasible and ac…

This study looks at how much protein male cyclists aged 65 and older need after a cycling workout. Researchers will use a safe, non-invasive method to measure protein needs. The goal is to improve dietary advice for active older adults. Eight healthy, experienced cyclists will ta…

This study looks at how much protein adults with facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) need each day to support muscle health. Researchers will test different amino acid intakes in 10 participants using a non-invasive technique. The goal is to improve dietary recommendati…

This pilot study tests whether omeprazole, a common heartburn drug, changes how well the body absorbs protein from food. Four healthy adults aged 50-60 will eat a standard meal with and without the drug, and researchers will measure amino acid levels in their blood. The goal is t…

This study follows 1,573 adults aged 50 to 90 across Canada, including people with different types of dementia and those with healthy memory. Researchers will use memory tests, brain scans, and blood samples to track how thinking and memory change over time. The goal is to better…

This study looks at how a brain area called the Posterior Parietal Cortex helps people with Parkinson's disease transfer walking skills from a treadmill to the ground. Researchers will use mild brain stimulation (rTMS) in 24 participants to see if it improves stride length and ot…

This study looks at whether newer automated insulin delivery systems help people with type 1 diabetes have healthier eating behaviors. Researchers will survey over 100 youth and adults across Canada about their eating habits and blood sugar control. The goal is to understand if t…
