This is a single-patient trial testing a new type of treatment called bacteriophage therapy for a severe, antibiotic-resistant hip joint infection. The patient has tried and failed all standard surgeries and antibiotics. Doctors will inject special viruses that target bacteria di…

This is a small, early-stage study to see if a larger trial is possible. It tests whether a gel called CO2Lift Pro can help prevent wound breakdown after breast reduction surgery. Researchers will apply the gel to one breast and a placebo (Vaseline) to the other breast in 10 pati…

This study aims to find the safest and most effective time to begin physical therapy after a major stroke. It will test if waiting until at least the third day after the stroke is better for the brain than starting therapy within the first two days. The goal is to prevent further…

This study aims to see if a single dose of psilocybin (the active compound in 'magic mushrooms'), given alongside a specific type of talk therapy, can help reduce the symptoms of PTSD in adults who have survived intimate partner violence. Researchers will compare a higher dose to…

This study is testing a program called 'Moxie' designed to help people with chronic heart, kidney, or diabetes conditions manage their health better after leaving the hospital. It will enroll 9,000 adults in Alberta to see if receiving weekly health information by mail and/or let…

This study is testing whether a new, low-power microwave scanner can provide similar information about breast tissue as traditional mammograms. Researchers will scan up to 20 women who have been called back for follow-up breast imaging after a suspicious mammogram. The goal is to…

This study is testing a new, personalized method to prevent pneumonia in critically ill patients on breathing machines in the ICU. Researchers will use a rapid test to analyze the bacteria in a patient's airway. If harmful bacteria are found, the patient receives a targeted inhal…

This study is testing whether magnetic brain stimulation can reduce ADHD symptoms in children as an alternative to standard medications. Researchers will deliver magnetic pulses to the brain five times per week for four weeks to children ages 9-15 with ADHD. The goal is to see if…

This study is testing whether a custom-made mouthpiece that gently moves the lower jaw forward can improve sleep quality and recovery in healthy adults. Researchers will compare this device to a placebo mouthpiece that doesn't reposition the jaw. About 24 participants will wear a…

This study is testing a procedure that uses extreme cold to temporarily freeze nerves, aiming to reduce pain for people waiting many months for hip or knee replacement surgery. The goal is to see if this method can help patients manage their pain with fewer opioid painkillers whi…

This study is testing whether gentle electrical stimulation behind the ears can help people with vestibular migraine, a condition that causes repeated dizziness, imbalance, and headaches. Fifty adults will receive either real or placebo stimulation over six sessions in two weeks.…

This study aims to understand how natural hormone changes during menstrual cycles relate to depression in teenage girls. Researchers will track daily hormone levels at home and monitor mental health symptoms over 90 days. The goal is to identify which teens might be especially se…

This study aims to improve the accuracy of heart rhythm monitors used during MRI scans. The strong magnetic fields in MRI machines can distort heart monitor signals, making it harder for doctors to monitor patients safely. Researchers will record heart signals from 2,500 patients…

This study aims to understand how different doses of oral THC affect mood, anxiety, and physical responses in healthy adults who have used cannabis before. Researchers will compare three THC doses to a placebo during four separate visits, measuring participants' feelings, heart r…
