Reaching the Unreached: Home-Based Telerehabilitation for Stroke Survivors
After a stroke, many people have trouble using their arms and hands. This can make daily tasks-like eating, dressing, or writing-very hard. In Alberta, especially in small towns and rural areas, many stroke survivors go home from the hospital without being referred to rehabilitation. As a result, they miss out …
Cycling-Based Aerobic Exercise Intervention for Individuals With Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy (CIPN)
CYCLE-CIPN is a proof-of-concept study designed to evaluate whether a prescribed aerobic exercise intervention has the potential to reduce the symptoms and functional impact of CIPN. The small number of participants in the proposed study will allow us to make decisions on the feasibility ("go/no-go") of a future larger-scale trial. …
Breast cancEr, FITness and ExeRcise for Heart Health: The BE-FITTER Study
The chemotherapy medications used for breast cancer treatment are important for achieving a cure, but a potential side effect is that they can cause a decline in functional capacity (reduced exercise tolerance and impaired physical function) and increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. The risks of decreased functional capacity and …
Micro-UltraSound In Cancer - Active Surveillance
This study will compare the two imaging modalities (MRI and micro-ultrasound) during Active Surveillance of prostate cancer (PCa). Progression to clinically significant PCa will be assessed by first taking micro-US targeted samples (while blinded to MRI results), followed by MRI targeted samples, finishing with 12 systematic biopsy cores. The primary …
Protein Needs Study
Severe muscle loss in patients with cancer has been associated with increased physical disability, extended hospitalization, infectious and noninfectious complications, increased risk of severe toxicity during cancer treatment, poor quality of life and shortened survival. Adequate protein is key to sustain muscle mass and overall health. However, current nutritional recommendations …
Clinical Feasibility & Validation of the Virtual Reality GlenxRose Speech-Language Therapies
Factors related to successful rehabilitation are often directly related to adherence; for instance, dosage, frequency, and intensity can burden the patient regarding time and motivational factors. Furthermore, surrounding salience, patients may lose interest or find an intervention boring after a few sessions. It is well documented that nonadherence not only …
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 …
Sertraline vs. Placebo in the Treatment of Anxiety in Children and AdoLescents With NeurodevelopMental Disorders
There are currently no approved medications for the treatment of anxiety in children and youth with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs), both common and rare. Sertraline, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, has extensive evidence to support its use in children's and youth with anxiety but not within NDDs. More research is needed …
Fecal Microbiota Transplantation in an Expanded Ulcerative Colitis Population
This is a multi-centre, randomised controlled trial comparing fecal microbiota transplantation to placebo in an expanded ulcerative colitis population: a feasibility study (FRONTIER-UC) to determine whether a full-scale randomized controlled trial (RCT) to investigate fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) in ulcerative colitis (UC) is feasible.
Utilizing an EEG-Based BCI Game to Evaluate Cognitive Skills in Children With Motor Impairments
This project aims to validate an EEG-based brain-computer interface (BCI) game as a cognitive assessment tool for children with motor impairments. Traditional cognitive assessments often rely on motor responses, which may underestimate the abilities of children with limited mobility. By using BCI technology, which captures brain activity directly, the study …
