This study is testing if a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment called TMS can help reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression in children and teenagers. It will involve 120 young people aged 6 to 18 who have been diagnosed with these conditions. The goal is to see if this dru…

This large study aims to find the safest and most effective dose of a common clot-busting drug, tenecteplase, for people having a stroke. It will enroll 4,000 patients to compare a standard dose against a lower dose, especially for those on blood thinners or who need a follow-up …

This study is testing if using donor breast milk instead of formula helps build a healthier gut in full-term babies born by C-section. Researchers will compare the gut bacteria, growth, and sleep of 90 babies who get either donor milk or formula when they need extra food in their…

This study aims to find out how much special treadmill training is safe and tolerable for people recovering from a recent stroke. Researchers will have participants walk on a treadmill where each leg can move at a different speed, combined with virtual reality, to improve walking…

This study aims to check if a new lab test for thyroid cancer gives the same result when run on a small needle biopsy sample as it does on the larger tumor removed during surgery. Researchers will enroll about 130 adults with papillary thyroid cancer who are scheduled for surgery…

This study is testing a new handheld biosensor that measures a specific brain protein (GFAP) in the blood of adults who have a concussion. Researchers want to see if this quick, portable device is as accurate as the current, more expensive lab test. They will also check if the pr…

This study is testing a free, 8-12 week exercise program designed specifically for people who have or have had cancer. The program offers twice-weekly supervised classes, either online or in-person, to help participants improve their fitness, manage cancer-related symptoms like f…

This early-stage study is checking if psilocybin (the active compound in 'magic mushrooms'), combined with talk therapy, is safe and might help people who still have symptoms like headaches, dizziness, and mood issues months to years after a concussion. It will involve 40 adults …

This study is testing a structured program where children with walking difficulties, often from conditions like cerebral palsy, use a robotic walking trainer in a hospital. The main goals are to see if this type of training program is practical to run and if it helps participants…

This study is testing a smartphone app designed to teach people how to safely use walking aids like canes, crutches, and walkers. Researchers want to see if using the app improves users' confidence, balance, and mobility while reducing pain and falls. The trial will involve 52 ad…

This study aims to collect better information on which first aid treatments work best when someone is choking. Researchers in Alberta, Canada, will gather details from real-life choking incidents involving adults and children over age 2. The goal is to see if they can reliably co…

This study aims to find better ways to monitor how well a Crohn's disease drug (guselkumab) is working. Researchers will follow 90 adult patients for a year, using intestinal ultrasounds and blood tests to look for patterns linked to treatment success. The goal is to see if these…

This study aims to learn how a robot that helps people walk (called Trexo) affects rehabilitation for people with walking difficulties from conditions like cerebral palsy. Researchers will test different robot settings, like 'endurance' and 'strength' modes, to see how they impac…

This study aims to better understand how sarcoma patients recover after surgery by testing a new smartphone app. The app will ask patients about their quality of life and will also automatically track their daily physical activity, like steps taken. Researchers will follow 800 pa…

This study aims to collect information about choking incidents in babies under 2 years old in Alberta, Canada. Researchers want to see if they can successfully track these emergencies in real time to gather better data. If this pilot works, it will support a future project that c…
