VPS13A-related neurodegenerative disease

This study looks at whether adjusting deep brain stimulation (DBS) can improve movement, speech, and swallowing in people already implanted with DBS for conditions like tremor, stroke, or traumatic brain injury. Researchers will test hand dexterity, grip strength, facial movement…

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 is testing a device called ViBandz, which uses small vibrating motors strapped to the body to provide vibration therapy. Researchers want to see if it is easy and comfortable for children with neurological conditions to use at home. The study will involve 30 children a…

This natural history study is collecting information from up to 4,000 people with movement disorders (like Parkinson's disease or tremor) and their family members. Participants undergo exams, blood tests, and imaging, but receive no new treatments. The goal is to gather data that…

This study aims to understand the link between genes and symptoms in people with inherited movement disorders. Researchers will study up to 2,500 participants, including patients and their family members, to identify new disease-causing genes and improve diagnosis. The goal is to…

This study aims to find the genetic causes of movement disorders and dementias by analyzing DNA from up to 12,000 participants, including patients and their family members. Researchers will collect blood or saliva samples and look for gene mutations linked to these conditions. Th…

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 is gathering medical information and samples from up to 5,000 people with neurosurgical conditions like brain tumors, epilepsy, and Parkinson's disease. Participants receive standard care while their data is collected for future research. No new treatments are being te…

This study looks at children in Vietnam who have movement disorders—like tremors, jerks, or coordination problems—with no known cause. Researchers will collect medical information and blood samples to search for genetic changes that might explain these conditions. The goal is to …

This study explores whether a non-invasive brain-computer interface (BCI) can help people with motor disorders, such as spinal cord injury or stroke, control assistive devices using their thoughts. Researchers will record brain signals with EEG and use machine learning to interpr…

This study is creating a shared database of children who have received deep brain stimulation (DBS) for movement disorders like dystonia, epilepsy, or Tourette syndrome. By pooling data from multiple hospitals, researchers hope to answer key questions about who benefits most and …

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 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 study aims to translate the Hypertonia Assessment Tool (HAT) into Turkish and check if it works correctly. The HAT helps doctors identify different types of increased muscle tone in children with motor disorders. Researchers will test the tool on 70 children under 18 who hav…
