NCT ID NCT05642221
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 24 times
Summary
This study tested two safe, light-based brain scanning methods (fNIRS and DCS) in children with rare neurocognitive disorders like Niemann-Pick disease and Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome, as well as healthy volunteers. The goal was to see if these scans could measure brain activity without using radiation. Researchers hope these tools can help study brain function in kids more comfortably and safely.
