Relieving Chronic Pain in Older Adults With Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation
The primary objective of this study is to determine, in a healthcare setting, the effectiveness of actual tDCS in reducing pain compared with placebo tDCS. This is a multicenter randomized controlled trial with parallel groups (real tDCS vs. placebo) blinded to participants, assessors and tDCS providers. The real tDCS group …
Longitudinal Study Examining At-Home tDCS
Participants with dementia have reported improvements after receiving tDCS in a study at our lab. Although we make an effort to enroll such participants in further tDCS research studies, some participants are ineligible for further studies or simply unwilling to continue being a research participant. These same individuals, however, are …
The Role of Cognition in Motor Learning After Stroke
Stroke leads to lasting problems in using the upper limb (UL) for everyday life activities. While rehabilitation programs depend on motor learning, UL recovery is less than ideal. Implicit learning is thought to lead to better outcomes than explicit learning. Cognitive factors (e.g., memory, attention, perception), essential to implicit motor …
Reducing Gastrointestinal Bleeding With Proton Pump Inhibitor Therapy in Acute Venous Thromboembolism
The investigators are studying whether treatment with a proton pump inhibitor called omeprazole reduces gastrointestinal bleeding in older adults taking blood thinners for a blood clot (venous thromboembolism). The purpose of this study, a pilot study or a feasibility study, is to test the study plan and determine whether enough …
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 …
GRID Therapy as Palliative Radiation for Patients With Advanced and Symptomatic Tumors
Palliative radiation therapy represents 40% of the on-going radiation at the Jewish General Hospital. In a traditional palliative radiation treatment to bulky or radioresistant tumors, radiotherapy schema varies from 24 to 30 Gys given in 3 to 10 fractions, depending on the tumor size, tumor location and tumor pathology. However, …
Application of High-dose Insulin Therapy to Improve Liver Function and Regeneration
The primary objective of this interventional study is determine if the future liver remnant can be optimized by improving liver function pre-operatively in patients who are scheduled for major hepatectomy. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does high-dose insulin therapy improve liver function in the pre-operative setting? What …
Brexpiprazole Treatment for Bipolar I Depression
Bipolar disorder (BD) is a frequent and lifelong recurrent mood disorder with treatment-resistant depressive episodes. Importantly, depressive symptoms and cognitive decline are major determinants of functionality and quality of life in this clinical population. There is robust evidence that individuals with BD have neurocognitive deficits (especially in memory and executive …
A Phase 1, Dose-escalation Study of [225Ac]-FPI-2068 in Adult Patients With Advanced Solid Tumours
This is a first-in-human, Phase 1, non-randomized, multicenter, open-label clinical study designed to investigate the safety, tolerability, dosimetry, biodistribution, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of \[225Ac\]-FPI-2068, \[111In\]-FPI-2107, and FPI-2053 in metastatic and/or recurrent solid tumors (HNSCC, NSCLC, mCRC, PDAC, GC, RCC).
A New Ultrasonographic Tool to Assess Pulmonary Strain in the ICU
The primary objective of the study is to create a small dataset of regional pulmonary strain values in patients suffering from pulmonary diseases under mechanical ventilation in an intensive care setting. Hypothesis: The analysis of lung ultrasonographic sequences using speckle-tracking allows the determination of local pleural strain in 4 predetermined …
