Comparing AI Role-Play and Peer Role-Play for Informed Consent Training in Endoscopy: A Randomized Control Trial
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 …
rTMS to Improve Motor Function in Autism
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 …
Magnetic Resonance-Guided Focused Ultrasound Bilateral Capsulotomy for Refractory Anorexia Nervosa With Comorbid Obsessive Compulsive Disorder or Major Depressive Disorder
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and initial clinical effectiveness of MRI-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) thermal ablation (capsulotomy) in patients with treatment-refractory anorexia nervosa (AN) and comorbid obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and major depressive disorder (MDD). The main questions it aims to answer are: Can MR-guided …
SCI&U Peer Health Coaching Program for Individuals Newly Discharged From Inpatient Rehabilitation
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the online program and web-based platform for delivery of self-management services to people with spinal cord injury (SCI) called "SCI \& U" can support transitions from hospital to the community after injury. Specifically, can providing support from trained peer health …
Patient Reported Experiences and Outcomes Associated with Standard C-Section Wound Closure Versus STRATAFIX/DERMABOND PRINEO Wound Closure (CS-PREO)
The aim of the study is to compare outcomes between patients receiving standard C-section wound closure compared to a wound closure bundle that includes Stratafix sutures and Dermabond PRINEO.
Vascular Regenerative Cell Exhaustion in Adults with Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD-VRCE)
PAD-VRCE is an observational, cross-sectional, two arm study aimed at determining if the presence of peripheral artery disease (PAD) can influence the number of circulating regenerative cells in blood. From peripheral blood samples, circulating progenitor cell content will be assessed via flow cytometry and compared between individuals with PAD and …
Comparing Digitally and Traditionally Made Ankle Foot Orthoses
The research is being done to compare two methods of creating AFOs: 1. The traditional method, which involves manually creating a mold from a plaster cast of the client's limb. This is time-consuming and labor-intensive; and 2. The newer method uses digital technology, such as 3D scanning and printing, to …
Feasibility Study of Novice-Performed Lung Ultrasound for Pneumothorax Detection After Cardiac Surgery
What is the purpose of this study? This study is being done to find out if medical trainees (such as residents and fellows) can learn to use lung ultrasound to detect a collapsed lung (pneumothorax) after heart surgery. Who is participating in the study? Adults who have recently had heart …
Physician- vs Questionnaire-Based Screening for Psoriatic Arthritis in Psoriasis
Early diagnosis of psoriatic arthritis (PsA) requires close collaboration between dermatologists (as the skin manifestations of psoriatic disease in most cases precede the musculoskeletal manifestations) and rheumatologists (who are usually responsible for the final diagnosis of PsA and treatment of the musculoskeletal manifestations). Previous epidemiological studies suggest that there may …
Bootle Blast: Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial
One in 500 Canadians has cerebral palsy (CP), a lifelong condition affecting movement and function. Physical and occupational therapies greatly benefit children with CP but can be costly and difficult to access. Children, parents, and clinicians are interested in using movement-tracking video games for home-based hand/arm therapy. Yet, the technologies …
