Safety, Tolerability and Efficacy of Nefopam Cream in Burn Patients
Burn patients very commonly develop abnormal scars after injury which can be red, raised or elevated, painful and very itchy. They can prevent normal movement of hands and other joints and lead to ugly deformities which makes physical and psychological recovery very difficult. This proposal seeks to test the usefulness …
Middle Cerebral Artery Aneurysm Trial
Intracranial aneurysms located on the middle cerebral artery (MCA) are considered by many surgeons to represent a distinct subgroup of aneurysms for which clipping may still be the best management option. Most MCA aneurysms are accessible, proximal control can readily be secured in case of rupture, and clip application can …
The Adult Degenerative Scoliosis Exercise Trial (Pilot Study)
Adult degenerative scoliosis is the most common spine deformity in adults. Patients present a lateral curvature of the spine and vertebra rotation. Curves meeting indications for treatment affect 24% of the aging adult population. Adult scoliosis causes pain, curve progression, and cosmetic deformity affecting quality of life and function. Pain …
Vasopressin vs. Epinephrine During Neonatal Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation
When a baby is born with a low heart rate or no heart rate, the clinical team must provide breathing support and chest compressions (what is call cardiopulmonary resuscitation or CPR). In some situations, the clinical team also need to give medications to help the heart rate increase. During CPR, …
Aerobic vs Resistance Exercise in Post-menopausal Women With Type 1 Diabetes
Participants will be asked to wear a continuous glucose monitor for at least three days on three separate occasions. One testing session will be a no-exercise resting control session (90 minutes). One will be a moderate aerobic exercise session (30 minutes of exercise, 60 minutes of recovery), and the third …
Effectiveness of Robotic Gait Training and Physical Therapy for Children and Youth With Cerebral Palsy
Robot assisted gait training is seen as a promising intervention for improving the walking abilities of children with cerebral palsy, but research to support its effectiveness compared to best practice physical therapy is lacking. This research consists of a randomized controlled trial (RCT) and a qualitative descriptive study that is …

Lyophilized Fecal Microbiome Transfer vs. Vancomycin Monotherapy for Primary Clostridioides Difficile Infection
The goal of this clinical trial is to test whether lyophilized fecal microbime transfer - a dried extract of bacteria from the stool of healthy donors - is better than antibiotic therapy only for treating primary clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) in adult participants. The main question it aims to answer …
Physiotherapy Dry Needling Accuracy
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the addition of cadaver review improves: the accuracy of physiotherapists who practice dry needling. the perceived safety of dry needling by physiotherapists. Researchers will compare the effects of an anatomy review using cadaver material to that of an educational intervention …
Exploring the Use of Phototherapy to Improve CPAP Compliance
Photobiomodulation (PBM) is a type of light therapy like lasers and LEDs. PBM was previously known by different terms like "low-level laser therapy" (LLLT) or "photobiostimulation." LLLT, despite its name, can also have effects beyond biomodulation, including thermal effects useful in medical imaging and therapy. PBM works by interacting with …
