Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1F

This study tests whether giving the drug natalizumab (Tyruko) within two weeks of first MS symptoms can help repair nerve damage. Forty adults with a first episode of MS-like inflammation will receive either the drug or a placebo. The main goal is to see if early treatment improv…

This study tests a device called Walkasins, worn on the lower legs, that vibrates to give sensory feedback about foot pressure. The goal is to see if using it daily for six months improves balance and walking in 200 adults aged 55+ with peripheral neuropathy. Participants will do…

This study aims to learn more about rare inherited disorders that affect the brain, spinal cord, muscles, and nerves. Researchers will collect medical history, perform exams, and run genetic tests on up to 3,500 participants. No new treatments are tested; the goal is to better un…

This study looks at whether certain proteins in the blood can help doctors monitor severe traumatic brain injury and predict who might benefit from hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Researchers will analyze blood samples from 150 patients already enrolled in a larger trial testing diffe…

This study looks at whether a new eye-tracking device can help doctors see how well multiple sclerosis (MS) treatment is working. About 224 Canadian adults with relapsing-remitting MS will use the device during routine care. The goal is to find out if eye movement changes can rep…

This study aims to see if a quick bedside sensory test can predict which painkiller—pregabalin, duloxetine, or a placebo—works best for people with nerve pain in their feet. About 190 adults with diabetic, chemotherapy-related, or idiopathic nerve pain will try each treatment for…

This study is collecting information from 4,000 adults with peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage) to better understand the condition. Researchers will combine standard tests with nerve ultrasound to see if it helps diagnose and track the disease. No new treatments are being tested…

This study looks at whether eating a vegan, vegetarian, or omnivore diet changes certain brain-related substances in the blood of healthy young adults. Researchers will measure two markers (NfL and GFAP) that can indicate brain cell health. The goal is simply to learn more, not t…

This study is collecting nerve samples and biofluids from 400 people with ALS or peripheral neuropathies to find biological markers for early diagnosis and disease tracking. By analyzing individual cells, researchers hope to identify molecular changes that happen before symptoms …

This observational study follows up to 5,000 people with Charcot Marie Tooth disease (CMT) types 1B, 2A, 4A, and 4C over five years. Researchers will measure symptoms, nerve function, and disability using special scales to understand how the disease changes over time. The goal is…

This study aims to find new genes that cause Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) and discover why symptoms differ among people with the same genetic change. Researchers will analyze DNA from up to 1,050 participants to identify genetic modifiers and unknown causes. The goal is to b…
