How doctors explain movement disorders affects patient understanding
This study tests whether a special way of explaining functional movement disorders helps patients feel better and more satisfied with their care. Functional movement disorders are real conditions where the nervous system affects how the body moves, but aren't caused by structural damage like a stroke or tumor.
GrazAges 18–80 - NCT06792760Enrolling by invitation
Body awareness training for movement disorders
This trial tests if adding body awareness (interoceptive) training to standard physical therapy helps people with functional movement disorders. It may improve how you sense and control your body.
Prague, Czech RepublicAges 18 years+ - NCT04394871Recruiting
Study of ALS and related genetic nerve disorders using scans and fluid tests
This study looks at signs and biology (biomarkers) in people with certain inherited nerve conditions caused by RNA-processing gene changes. It may help researchers understand disease patterns and measure health changes using MRI scans and sometimes a spinal fluid test.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 5–120 - NCT06393439Recruiting
Virtual reality for functional movement disorder
This study tests whether virtual reality can help people with functional or essential tremor. You may join if you have one of these tremor types or are a healthy volunteer.
GrazAges 18–65 - NCT06687057Recruiting
Heart rate training for anxiety and stomach issues
This study tests whether a special breathing and heart-rate training program (called HRV biofeedback) can help people who have both anxiety and a sensitive stomach or bowel (functional gastrointestinal disorder). If you often feel anxious and have belly discomfort without a clear medical cause, this training might improve both your digestion and your mood.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT02795052Recruiting
Stem cell treatment trial for nerve injury
This study tests whether bone-marrow stem cells can improve nerve function in people with nerve damage that usually doesn’t recover with current care. It also checks whether the treatment is safe and whether people can be followed over time with repeated nerve exams.
Westport, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT05432349Recruiting
Rett syndrome genetic registry for MECP2 changes
This trial is a registry that collects health and genetic information from people with Rett syndrome. It may help researchers better understand how MECP2 loss-of-function changes lead to symptoms and how to support patients.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges birth–99 years - NCT06031025Recruiting
Study of tummy problems in at-risk infants
This study looks at how common stomach and gut issues are in babies who were born early or had problems at birth, and how these issues change over time.
RomaAges 3 months–2 years - NCT07289191Recruiting
Spinal current stimulation for walking after spinal cord injury
This trial tests whether a new type of electrical stimulation on the back can help improve walking in people with incomplete spinal cord injury. It uses a device that sends small currents through the skin to the spinal cord.
Badalona, BarcelonaAges 18–75 - NCT06617377Recruiting
Can MRI predict brain recovery after cardiac arrest?
This study uses brain scans (MRI) to try to predict whether people who are still unconscious after a cardiac arrest will recover. It is looking for adults who are in a coma and have not woken up after being taken off sedation medicines for at least three days.
ToulouseAges 18 years+ - NCT07533903Recruiting
Brain-Computer Interface for Arm Control in Paralysis
This trial tests a surgically implanted brain-computer interface (BCI) device designed to help people with severe arm paralysis—from conditions like ALS or stroke—regain some ability to control their arms. The device reads signals from your brain and translates them into arm movements, potentially helping you perform daily activities.
