A listing of Etobicoke,, Canada clinical trials actively recruiting patients volunteers.
Bevacizumab, an anti-VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) agent used in the treatment of diabetic retinopathy and macular edema associated with retinal vein occlusion, is commonly administered in ophthalmology clinics through intravitreal injection. The systemic use of bevacizumab has been associated with serious conditions such as thromboembolism and bleeding. Although intravitreal …
The goal of this clinical trial is to explore the effects of non-invasive brain stimulation protocols using intermittent theta-burst stimulation (iTBS) on brain plasticity and depression severity in depressed individuals aged 18 to 50 years old. Brain plasticity is the brain's ability to change through growth or reorganization. iTBS is …
The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of MR-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) thalamotomy in patients with medication-refractory essential tremor. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does MRgFUS thalamotomy provide sustained reduction in tremor severity over 3 years? What are the long-term …
Penile Inversion Vaginoplasty (PIV) is a transition-related surgery (TRS) that is associated with severe postoperative pain. The optimal pain management strategies for this surgery remain unknown. We hypothesized that the addition of a saddle block with intrathecal morphine would yield clinically important analgesic benefits.
This is to study the efficacy, safety and tolerability of efgartigimod in patients with seronegative generalized myasthenia gravis. This is an open label study. There will be 30 participants to enroll at University Health Network Toronto General Hospital. Study duration is 43 weeks from screening to end of study.
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to find out whether AI-based role play is effective in teaching healthcare trainees how to obtain informed consent from patients for endoscopic procedures. The main question is: • How does generative AI-based role play compare to traditional peer role play in training …
Limit: 5000 characters. Psilocybin, the chemical component of "magic mushrooms", has been administered with psychotherapy in several randomized clinical trials (RCTs) showing large and sustained antidepressant effects. In healthy volunteers, the psychedelic effects of psilocybin have been shown to be blocked by administration of certain medications such as risperidone. The …
Multi-center, randomized, controlled, open-label Phase 2 feasibility trial. Subjects on mechanical ventilation (MV) for acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF) with lung injury (including subjects who meet criteria for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)) will be randomized 2:1 to diaphragm neurostimulation-assisted ventilation (DNAV) using the AeroNova System plus lung-protective ventilation (Treatment) …
Deep Brain Stimulation for the Treatment of Severe Refractory Self-Injurious Behaviour in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Randomized Trial To evaluate the effectiveness of deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the nucleus accumbens for the treatment of severe refractory, repetitive self-injurious behavior (SIB) in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Secondary …
In the current project, investigators have two main goals: i) Testing whether an excessive plasticity, i.e. hyperplasticity in the motor cortex underlies motor function difficulties in autistic adults, and ii) Using repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) with autistic adults to examine whether resulting reduced hyperplasticity in the motor cortex will …
