Deep brain stimulation and memory changes in Parkinson’s
This study looks at whether deep brain stimulation (a surgical treatment for Parkinson’s disease) affects thinking and memory over time. It compares Parkinson’s participants to people without Parkinson’s to better understand what changes happen with treatment.
Charleston, South CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT05736302Recruiting
Check an activity-tracking algorithm against a body-weight test
This trial checks whether a new computer algorithm that uses an accelerometer (movement sensor) can accurately estimate your body’s activity and energy use. It compares the phone/wearable movement data to results from a special way of measuring how your body uses energy.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT05539196Recruiting
Registry for Exablate treatment in Parkinson’s with medication problems
This trial is a real-world registry that follows people with Parkinson’s who are planning to get an Exablate 4000 procedure (a focused ultrasound treatment) for one-sided symptoms that are difficult to control with medication. It mainly checks outcomes and safety over time, helping doctors understand how well this treatment works in everyday care.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 30–99 - NCT04997642Recruiting
Parkinson’s patient database for memory and movement tracking
This study builds a research database of people who receive care for Parkinson’s disease, including those with mild memory problems or dementia. It aims to collect consistent information that researchers can use to better understand Parkinson’s and related thinking changes.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04071847Recruiting
Study tracking results after Abbott deep brain stimulator surgery
This study follows people who are getting a new Abbott deep brain stimulator (DBS) device or replacing the battery/implantable pulse generator to see how outcomes change over time. It mainly applies to certain DBS targets and diagnoses, and it uses follow-up visits to track results.
Tucson, ArizonaAges Any age - NCT04638452Recruiting
Study of reactions during routine blood tests in autism
This study looks at how people with autism (and some without autism) react during a routine blood test. Researchers will watch and measure behavior and body responses to better understand distress and comfort during needle procedures.
BordeauxAges 6–65 - NCT07365566Recruiting
Pain and sleep behavior disorder study
This study looks at pain in people with a sleep condition called idiopathic REM sleep behavior disorder (iRBD), where people act out their dreams. It also includes a group of people with narcolepsy who have similar sleep issues. The goal is to understand how pain relates to these conditions.
ToulouseAges 18 years+ - NCT04754906Recruiting
Study how thinking abilities affect planning movement
This study looks at how well people can plan and control movements, and whether thinking ability affects that process. It compares healthy younger adults, healthy older adults, and older adults with mild cognitive problems.
DijonAges 18 years+ - NCT04672551Recruiting
EMDR therapy for PTSD after a heart attack
This trial studies whether EMDR (a structured therapy that helps process distressing memories) can reduce PTSD symptoms in people who developed PTSD after a cardiac event. It may help you feel less overwhelmed by memories and stress related to the heart event.
ZurichAges 18–70 - NCT07777328Recruiting
5-HTP for ADHD traits and eye movements in adults
