Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18–75 - NCT03610763Recruiting
Training brain recovery after arm nerve repair
This study tests a way to help your brain and nerves work better after an arm/hand nerve repair that is already in the long-term (chronic) recovery stage. It may help improve hand and arm function by targeting “neuroplasticity,” meaning the brain’s ability to adapt after injury.
Louisville, KentuckyAges 18 years+ - NCT03678389Recruiting
Check feasibility of a coil for pituitary surgery imaging
This trial tests whether a special coil can be placed during pituitary tumor surgery to improve imaging while the surgeon is operating. It may help surgeons see the pituitary area in real time during a transsphenoidal (through the nose) operation.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–85 - NCT03749538Recruiting
Brain stimulation test for autoimmune muscle weakness
This trial tests whether a noninvasive brain stimulation technique (through the scalp) can improve muscle weakness in people with certain autoimmune muscle diseases. It may help by changing brain signals that affect how muscles work.
São PauloAges 18–80 - NCT03777267Recruiting
Test a brain-sensing device for stress, anxiety, or insomnia
This exploratory study tests how a wearable brain-sensing setup (with sensor leads/earbuds) works for people with stress, anxiety, or sleep problems. You may be asked to sit still during sessions and complete brief questionnaires to confirm your symptoms.
Winston-Salem, North CarolinaAges 11 years+ - NCT03922555RecruitingPhase 1
ASTX727 for IDH-mutant low-grade brain tumors
This early-stage study tests ASTX727 in adults with IDH-mutant gliomas that are coming back or progressing. It aims to see whether the medicine can slow the tumor and understand how it works in the body and tumor tissue.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT03952637RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Gene therapy for GM1 disease with IV delivery
This early-stage study tests an IV gene therapy that delivers a working copy of an enzyme gene to help the body make beta-galactosidase in GM1 gangliosidosis. It may help slow or improve disease symptoms and looks closely at safety and how well the treatment works.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 6 months–12 years - NCT04043598Recruiting
Fluids choice after brain bleed to improve brain outcomes
This trial studies whether giving a specific type of IV fluid (a salt-water fluid in the vein) after a type of brain bleed can improve neurological recovery. It focuses on adults with a non-traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage (a bleeding in the space around the brain) given soon after diagnosis.
Sankt Gallen, Canton of St. GallenAges 16 years+ - NCT04121780RecruitingPhase 2
Growth hormone treatment for retired NFL players with low hormone
This Phase 2 study tests whether growth hormone replacement helps retired professional football players who have been diagnosed with growth hormone deficiency. You may be considered if you meet age and health requirements and have the specific hormone diagnosis.
Dearborn, MichiganAges 18–76 - NCT04189471Recruiting
Improving care for people in the Neuro ICU
This trial looks at improving outcomes for people who have a potentially life-threatening neurologic illness and are admitted to a Neuro ICU soon after injury. If you qualify, you may receive care strategies being tested to improve recovery and survival.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT04198792Recruiting
Finding outcomes after ECMO for heart-related emergencies
