Multiple system atrophy, parkinsonian type

This early study tests a spinal cord stimulation therapy called ARC-IM in 5 people with Parkinson's disease or related conditions who experience severe drops in blood pressure when standing (orthostatic hypotension). The main goal is to check safety, and researchers will also mea…

This early-stage trial tests a single injection of dopamine-producing cells directly into the brain for people with multiple system atrophy (MSA), a rare and severe movement disorder. The main goal is to check safety and side effects in 9 participants aged 30 to 70. Researchers w…

This early-phase trial tests a drug called Aleeto, a nerve repair protein made from stem cells, in 20 people with Multiple System Atrophy (MSA), a rare brain disease. The study checks if Aleeto is safe and might help with symptoms. Participants receive the drug via injection into…

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 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 study looks at whether changing the ratio of carbidopa to levodopa in standard Parkinson's medication can reduce orthostatic hypotension—a sudden drop in blood pressure when standing that causes dizziness and fainting. Researchers will give 36 patients with Parkinson's disea…

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 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 collects DNA from up to 1,000 adults with progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), corticobasal syndrome (CBS), multiple system atrophy (MSA), or related conditions, plus their family members. Researchers will sequence participants' whole genomes to find genetic variants …

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…

This study aims to collect health information from 100,000 people with Parkinsonian disorders in China over 10 years. Participants use an online platform to report symptoms, quality of life, and other health details every 3 months. The goal is to better understand how the disease…
