X-linked sideroblastic anemia with ataxia

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 Phase 2 trial tests whether KL1333 can reduce fatigue and improve leg strength in adults with primary mitochondrial disease, a genetic condition that affects energy production. About 180 participants will receive either KL1333 or a placebo twice daily for 48 weeks. The study…

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 early-stage study tests a new drug called APG-5918 in healthy volunteers and people with anemia (low red blood cells). The main goal is to check safety and how the body handles the drug, while also seeing if it can raise hemoglobin levels. About 105 participants will take pa…

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…

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 uses a non-invasive brain imaging technique called fNIRS to see how anemia affects thinking and memory. Researchers will measure brain activity in 323 adults with different types of anemia and compare it to cognitive test scores. The goal is to identify which brain reg…

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 at the National Institutes of Health looks at how infections can worsen symptoms in people with mitochondrial disease, a group of disorders that affect energy production in cells. Researchers will evaluate participants' immune systems through blood tests, physical exam…

This study follows thousands of people with ataxia, hereditary spastic paraplegia, and spastic ataxia, rare conditions that cause progressive problems with walking, balance, and coordination. Researchers will track how symptoms evolve using clinical exams, patient reports, digita…

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 creates a global registry for people with mitochondrial disorders—rare diseases that affect energy production in cells. By collecting health data from 6,000 participants worldwide, researchers aim to understand how these diseases progress and identify the best ways to …

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 looks at whether doctors at Siriraj Hospital follow a new guideline for treating anemia in patients before major surgery. Anemia is common in surgical patients and can lead to more blood transfusions and worse outcomes. The researchers will track 93 anemic patients to …

This study is creating a large registry and tissue bank for people with mitochondrial disorders. Researchers will collect medical information and samples from up to 1,000 participants, including those diagnosed with or suspected to have a mitochondrial disease. The goal is to gat…

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 is observing 1000 adults having moderate- to high-risk surgery to see if the type and severity of anemia they have before surgery affects their risk of complications like heart injury, kidney injury, or stroke. Researchers will compare patients with iron-deficiency ane…

This study collects blood and skin samples from 100 people with primary mitochondrial diseases and healthy volunteers aged 3 to 85. Researchers will study how different mitochondrial mutations affect cell function and look for biomarkers. The samples will also help test a new the…
