Congenital fibrosis of extraocular muscles

This early-stage trial tests a brain-computer interface called BrainGate for people with paralysis from conditions like ALS or spinal cord injury. A small sensor is placed in the brain to interpret movement-related signals, allowing users to control a tablet computer just by thin…

This study is testing a handheld device called mScan that uses a tiny, painless electrical current to measure muscle health. Researchers want to see if it can give similar results to an MRI, but faster and more conveniently. The study involves 150 adults with and without muscle d…

This study tests whether cycling while using a virtual park app can slow the loss of motor function in children and teens with neuromuscular diseases like muscular dystrophy. Twenty-two participants will first receive standard care for 3 months, then use the virtual park bike 3 t…

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 aims to find genes that cause eye misalignment (strabismus) and related conditions involving the cranial nerves and brainstem. Researchers will analyze DNA from up to 20,000 participants with these disorders. The goal is to better understand the genetic causes, which c…

This study aims to find better ways to measure fatigue and walking problems in people with neuromuscular diseases like muscular dystrophy and spinal muscular atrophy. Researchers will use a wearable sensor to track physical activity for one week in daily life and during a walking…
