This study tests a new way to help people with cerebellar diseases (either present from birth or developed later) improve their ability to predict others' actions and emotions. Sixty participants will undergo eight sessions of virtual reality training while receiving either real …

This study tests whether a supplement called Glialia can reduce brain inflammation and improve balance in people with Persistent Postural Perceptual Dizziness (PPPD), a condition that causes ongoing dizziness and unsteadiness. The trial includes 30 adults: 20 with PPPD (some with…

This study tests a new approach to help people who have had a stroke regain arm movement. It uses a virtual reality system that reads muscle signals to assist with reaching motions, combined with gentle brain stimulation to boost learning. The goal is to improve arm function and …

This study tests whether a virtual reality program designed to stimulate the balance and vision systems can help stroke survivors walk better and feel steadier. Thirty-eight adults who had a stroke at least six months ago will be randomly assigned to either the real VR training o…

This study tests a special massage technique called 'Gentle Touch' to reduce arm swelling (lymphedema) in women who had breast cancer surgery. Thirty-six women aged 30 to 75 will receive either Gentle Touch or a control treatment, plus usual care, over 10 sessions in 5 weeks. The…

This study tests a new, non-invasive brain stimulation technique that combines magnetic and electrical pulses to target brain networks involved in memory. Researchers will enroll 60 people with mild Alzheimer's to see if this approach can improve thinking and daily function. The …

This study tests whether combining two types of non-invasive brain stimulation can improve balance and coordination in people with ataxia, a condition that affects movement. Researchers will enroll 30 adults with a confirmed ataxia diagnosis. Participants will receive a combinati…
