Pharmacist-physiotherapist Collaborative Management for Early Knee Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a slowly progressive chronic condition that is associated with aging and is characterized as joint pain. Individuals with early-stage OA usually do not seek medical attention. If and when they do, patients more often present to a pharmacy for over-the-counter medications. The investigators want to leverage community …
Ketorolac at Lower Doses for Analgesic Pain Control in ICU: A Pilot Feasibility Study
Opiates are commonly used to control pain in critically ill patients in the ICU. However, increased rates of opiate use in hospital may lead to increased prescription-based opiate dependence after leaving the ICU. This may contribute to the ongoing opiate epidemic across the world. Other medications that can reduce pain, …
Transcutaneous Spinal Cord Stimulation for Upper Extremity Function
Transcutaneous electrical stimulation (tcES) of the spinal cord has shown great promise in restoring upper extremity function after spinal cord injury (SCI). More recently, the use of invasive, epidural electrical stimulation of the spinal cord has also demonstrated promise in restoring upper extremity function post-stroke. However, the effect of stimulation …
IMPACT: IMplementation of Physical Activity for Children and Adolescents on Treatment
Physical activity can enhance well-being among youth diagnosed with oncological or hematological diseases. We developed a tailored, 1:1, online physical activity program (i.e., IMPACT), to promote physical activity in this cohort. The proposed single-group, mixed-methods project will assess the effect of IMPACT and explore markers of implementation.
Volume Targeted Mask Ventilation Versus Pressure Ventilation in Preterm Infants
This is a pilot trial to assess the feasibility of volume Targeted Ventilation in the Delivery Room. Preterm infants will be randomized to pressure guided or volume targeted ventilation during respiratory support in the delivery room
Methotrexate for Immune Related Arthritis or Arthralgias (IMPACT 2.1)
Many people develop joint pain, stiffness and swelling due to their cancer treatment that targets the immune system. The severity of symptoms ranges from mild to debilitating and sometimes requires delaying or stopping cancer treatment. The usual plan is to discontinue cancer treatment and give relatively high doses of a …
Heavy Strength Training in Head and Neck Cancer Survivors
Despite improvements in treatments, head and neck cancer survivors (HNCS) still endure acute and chronic side effects such as loss of muscular strength, limitations in physical functioning, fatigue, and swallowing difficulties that impact quality of life (QoL) and limit return to work. Light-to-moderate intensity strength training (LMST) has been shown …
Feasibility of Prospective Surveillance and Early Physical Therapy for Trismus
Trismus, or restricted jaw movement, can occur in individuals with head and neck cancer (HNC) undergoing surgery or radiation therapy. There is a paucity of research examining interventions for trismus. We aim to assess the feasibility of prospective surveillance and early intervention to mitigate trismus in individuals undergoing HNC treatment. …
Study the Effect of Upper Expansion Appliances on Lower Jaw Forward Projection/Growth
Young children with backward positioned lower jaw/chin will be recruited to have an upper jaw expansion appliance. Previous research showed that the use of similar appliances can lead to lower jaw forward growth. 60 young children aged 9-11 will be recruited to have either active or non-active Wilson type upper …
Antibiotic Prophylaxis for Neurogenic Bladder Botox
Injection of Botox into the bladder is a procedure used to treat neurogenic overactive bladder at the Dianne and Irving Kipnes Urology Centre in the Kaye Edmonton Clinic. A common complication following bladder Botox is bladder infection. There are no well-studied preventative antibiotics given at the time of bladder Botox …
