Randomized Controlled Trial of Early Intensive Leg Exercise to Improve Walking in Children With Diplegia
This is a randomized controlled trial, comparing 3 months of intensive leg exercise to standard physiotherapy care for the improvement of gross motor function in young children with spastic diplegia.
Cord Clamping Among Neonates With Congenital Heart Disease
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare 2 different timepoints for clamping the umbilical cord at birth for term-born infants with a prenatal diagnosis of congenital heart disease (CHD). The main questions it aims to answer are: Does Delayed Cord Clamping at 120 seconds (DCC-120) or Delayed Cord …
Outpatient Preoperative Parenteral Nutrition in Malnourished Surgical Patients
Malnutrition is common in surgical patients. Many studies have shown a clear association between malnutrition and poor surgical outcomes. Parenteral nutrition (PN) is a nutrition intervention that is given by vein and can be safely provided to malnourished patients. It contains carbohydrates, fats, and protein just like you would normally …
Effectiveness of the Journey Total Knee Arthroplasty Versus Two Standard of Care Total Knee Arthroplasty Prostheses
The purpose of the study is to determine if knee replacement performed using Journey II implant is different from two other standard-of-care knee replacements using Stryker and Zimmer in terms of knee movements and forces, walking patterns, pain, and function after surgery.
Prebiotics in Patients With Type 1 Diabetes
Evidence suggests that prebiotic fibre can correct dysbiosis, reduce intestinal permeability and improve glycemic control. The investigators hypothesize that microbial changes induced by prebiotics contribute to gut and endocrine adaptations that reduce glucose fluctuations, including less hyper- and hypoglycemia in type 1 diabetes (T1D). The primary objective is to compare …
Randomized Comparison of PARtial Wrist Fusion With or Without Triquetral Excision (PARTE)
This randomized clinical trial (RCT) aims to compare clinical and radiographic outcomes of different partial wrist fusion techniques in participants with post-traumatic wrist arthritis. Participants with stage II or III scapholunate advanced collapse (SLAC) or scaphoid nonunion advanced collapse (SNAC) who meet the eligibility criteria will be randomly assigned to …
Inguinal Node Sparing Radiotherapy For Patients With Early Stage Anal Cancer
The purpose of this study is to see whether avoiding preventative radiation to the groin in patients with normal sentinel node biopsy and PET-CT, is at least as effective treating cancer as giving preventative radiation to the groin for patients with anal canal cancer. The investigators also want to know …
Northern Alberta Linac-MR Image-Guided Radiotherapy (Northern LIGHTs-2)
Cancers are often treated with external beam radiotherapy. Current radiotherapy treatments are performed using computed tomography (also known as CT) scans which may not always clearly identify the cancer. In some instances, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may be able to better identify cancers. Therefore, efforts are currently underway to use …
Custom Non-invasive Ventilation Masks in Children
One significant challenge to non-invasive ventilation (NIV) use in children is finding masks to fit a wide range of growing shapes and sizes. While the technology has improved with development of masks specifically for children, the range of options remains limited. Given the smaller size relative to adults, craniofacial abnormalities …
Evaluation of Effectiveness of Child-oriented Goal-setting in Paediatric Rehabilitation (the ENGAGE Approach)
Children with disabilities often access rehabilitation services to improve their abilities to participate in everyday activities. Goal-directed therapy is considered an important therapeutic strategy to achieve outcomes that are meaningful to families. Not a lot is known about the effects of goal setting on rehabilitation outcomes. Strategies to help children …
