The Effect of Exercise on Brain Energetics in Parkinson’s disease
This project will explore the effect of exercise on brain energetics using functional MRI and PET imaging in people with Parkinson's disease.

The purpose of this study is to explore the experiences and impacts of social media support and in-person support on the well-being of family caregivers of individuals with spinal cord injury.
The purpose of the study is to examine the feasibility and effectiveness of a 4-week lower extremity telerehabilitation protocol with aims to improve lower extremity recovery amoung community-living stroke survivors.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) in terms of mental health and tele-rehabilitation, and to obtain suggestions from the community for improving these services during periods that require physical distancing.
This is an observational study of patients with Primary Mitochondrial Disease with either signs or symptoms suggestive of myopathy.
This randomized controlled trial will enrol patients with acute severe brain injury who pass a spontaneous breathing trial but have decreased level of consciousness. It will directly compare (1) prompt extubation vs. (2) prompt tracheostomy vs. (3) usual care, with extubation or tracheostomy timed according to physicians' discretion. The primary outcome will be ICU free days (days spent alive and outside an ICU).
The purpose of the main study is to investigate adverse drug reactions from multiple sclerosis (MS) disease modifying drugs by understanding the genetic factors that contribute to their cause.
The sub-study investigates how the MS disease modifying drugs affect microbes in the gut and how human DNA affects the changes in the gut microbes following drug treatment. We are also interested in how gut microbes might relate to progressive MS.
This is an observational study designed to determine the relationship between quantitative advanced MRI measures and OCT with PET measurements of microglial activation and myelin health.
The purpose of this study is to provide confirmatory evidence of the safety and efficacy of two Dysport® (AbobotulinumtoxinA) doses (600 units [U] and 800 U), compared to placebo in reducing urinary incontinence (UI) in adult subjects treated for neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDO) due to spinal cord injury (SCI) or multiple sclerosis (MS).
To determine the effects of aerobic exercise on hippocampal volumes and severity of psychotic symptoms in a population of psychosis patients compared to healthy age/gender matched volunteers. Psychosis patients often suffer from a number of cognitive difficulties, including poor memory function, poor problem-solving capacity and difficulties with attention and concentration. These problems are not well addressed by current clinical treatments.
This study compares EG-1962 to enteral nimodipine in the treatment of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage.
Laryngeal Dystonia (LD), also commonly referred to as spasmodic dysphonia, is a neurological voice disorder characterized by involuntary dystonic contractions of the laryngeal muscles. Current treatments such as botox and voice therapy only provide temporary relief and thus, the investigators are exploring new strategies to provide long-term, sustained improvement.
To study the effect of micro-catheters which measure and help identify the optimal blood pressure after cardiac arrest to ensure adequate oxygen delivery to the brain.
The CCNA COMPASS-ND study aims to investigate the bases, commonalities, and distinguishing characteristics of Alzheimer disease and related neurodegenerative disorders.
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicentre, parallel-group study to assess the cognitive effects of lurasidone in bipolar I and II patients (manic depression) who are in remission from an episode. Participants who show cognitive impairment at the screening visit will be enrolled into the study and randomized at the baseline visit to receive either lurasidone or placebo adjunctive therapy in a 1:1 ratio for 6 weeks.
The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of Parkinson's medication on decision making and risk taking in healthy control participants.
This study will test the safety and tolerability of a medium chain triglyceride (MCT) supplement in those with Alzheimer Disease (AD).
This is a multicenter, randomized, open-label phase 2/3 study of Toca 511 and Toca FC versus standard of care that comprises Investigator's choice of single agent chemotherapy (lomustine or temozolomide) or bevacizumab administered to subjects undergoing resection for first or second recurrence (including this recurrence) of GBM or AA. Subjects meeting all of the inclusion and none of the exclusion criteria will be randomized prior to surgery in a 1:1 ratio to receive either Toca 511 and Toca FC (Experimental arm, Arm T) or control treatment with one option of standard of care (Arm SOC).
Current Canadian Clinical Practice guidelines emphasize the need for effective psychosocial adjuncts to pharmacotherapy for schizophrenia (Canadian Psychiatric Association 2005). This randomized control trial seeks to contribute to the body of evidence supporting psychosocial treatments by assessing the effectiveness of metacognitive training (MCT) and cognitive remediation (CR) at treating the persistent positive and cognitive symptoms of schizophrenia.
The purpose of this project is to conduct a proof of concept study in patients with probable Alzheimer's Disease who have mild to moderate hypertension, in order to determine if there is less global brain atrophy over one year, as measured by ventricular enlargement as a primary outcome measure, when patients are randomized to treatment with an angiotensin receptor blocker compared to an Angiotensin Converting Enzyme inhibitor (ACEI).
