Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study investigates the specific cognitive strengths and weaknesses of children and adults with Sturge-Weber Syndrome (SWS), a rare condition affecting blood vessels in the brain, skin, and eyes. Participants complete a series of tests measuring memory, attention, language, and problem-solving skills. The goal is to create a detailed cognitive-behavioral profile that can guide tailored rehabilitation and educational support.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to personalized rehabilitation and educational strategies for people with Sturge-Weber Syndrome.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study with a small sample size, so findings may not apply to all individuals with SWS and will require further validation.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

Participants will be recruited through a nationwide network in Italy, primarily through collaboration with the Italian Sturge-Weber Syndrome patient association and support from Fondazione Telethon. The study will be conducted at two primary sites: IRCCS San Raffaele Hospital in Milan and the Department of Psychology at Sapienza University of Rome. Participants include individuals already receiving clinical care for Sturge-Weber Syndrome at specialized neurology and dermatology centers across Italy, as well as individuals identified through patient advocacy organizations. The study aims to recruit a representative sample of the Italian SWS population, including both pediatric patients (children and adolescents) and adults. Given the rarity of SWS (incidence of approximately 0.19 per 100,000 individuals per year), recruitment will occur over an extended period to achieve the target sample size of approximately 40 participants. Outreach will include informational materials distributed
