Oculomotor nerve paralysis

This phase 2 trial tests whether glycerol phenylbutyrate (GPB) can slow corticobasal syndrome (CBS), a rare and fast-progressing brain disease. 32 adults with CBS will receive either GPB or a placebo for 26 weeks. The main goal is to see if GPB lowers levels of a nerve damage mar…

This Phase 2 trial tests an oral drug called FNP-223 in 241 people with progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), a rare brain disorder that causes problems with balance, eye movement, and thinking. The study compares the drug to a placebo over 52 weeks to see if it can slow the dise…

This study tests an AI tool called AIDP that analyzes MRI scans to help diagnose Parkinson's disease and two similar conditions (MSA and PSP). Researchers at 21 sites will compare the AI's diagnosis to that of movement disorder specialists. The goal is to see if the tool can impr…

This study looks at whether adding a daily 30-minute muscle stimulation session can improve pain control and quality of life for people who already have a spinal cord stimulator (BurstDR) for chronic back pain. Sixty adults with failed back surgery syndrome or persistent spinal p…

This study tests whether a home-based telenursing program, led by a specialist nurse, can improve quality of life and reduce complications like falls for people with atypical parkinsonism (MSA or PSP). About 164 participants will receive proactive and reactive remote monitoring a…

This study looks at whether online community support and telemedicine can improve quality of life for people with Parkinson's disease, Lewy body dementia, and related conditions, as well as their caregivers. About 632 participants will receive palliative care training for their d…

This study explores whether art therapy can help people with progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) feel better and improve their daily life. Ten participants will take part in art sessions, and researchers will measure changes in quality of life, mood, and caregiver stress. The go…

This study follows 125 people with Parkinson's disease or related conditions over two years. Researchers use special brain scans to measure changes in a chemical called acetylcholine, which is linked to walking problems, falls, and thinking skills. The goal is to understand how t…

This study aims to identify biomarkers—biological clues in the body—that can help distinguish between Parkinson's disease and similar conditions like progressive supranuclear palsy and multiple system atrophy. Researchers will follow people with early-stage parkinsonism and healt…

This study compares stainless steel and titanium-molybdenum alloy wires for moving canine teeth in people with braces. Sixteen participants will have one type of wire on each side of their upper jaw to see which works better. The goal is to find out which wire moves teeth more ef…

This study uses advanced MRI scans and genetic tests to track how neurodegenerative diseases like frontotemporal dementia and ALS spread across the brain's network. Researchers will follow 645 participants, including patients, family members, and healthy controls, for up to 2 yea…

This study is testing whether wearable sensors can reliably monitor movement problems in people with progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and related frontotemporal disorders. About 60 participants will wear pendant-like devices for 12 months to track their activity. The goal is …

This study aims to learn more about diseases that affect the brain, such as Parkinson's disease and different types of dementia. Researchers will follow 500 adults with symptoms of these conditions over time, using brain scans and genetic tests to see how the diseases progress. T…

This observational study looks at how brain inflammation contributes to frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD), a group of disorders that cause dementia. Researchers will use advanced brain scans, blood tests, and spinal fluid analysis in 110 participants to find biomarkers tha…
