NiğdeAges 6 months–1.5 years - NCT07525726Recruiting
Finger Measurements and Baby Development Study
This research explores whether the ratio (comparison) of finger lengths in babies relates to their growth and developmental progress. Researchers will measure babies' fingers and track their physical and mental development over time.
NiğdeAges 1 year–1.5 years - NCT05048862Recruiting
Brain scan and tests for neuromuscular conditions
This study compares people with neuromuscular disorders to healthy people using questionnaires and brain/neurological tests. It may help researchers understand how these conditions affect the brain and nervous system.
TaipeiAges 20 years+ - NCT07402655Recruiting
Study on nerve injuries in the arm and their long-term effects
This study looks at people who have had a recent nerve injury in their arm, hand, or wrist that needed treatment. It aims to understand how the injury affects movement, feeling, and quality of life over time.
IspartaAges 18–80 - NCT03286686Recruiting
Study of thinking and hand skills after brain injury
This study looks at how people with an injury to the back part of the brain (posterior parietal cortex) process what they see and guide their movements. It may help researchers better understand the symptoms and improve future therapies.
BronAges 18–75 - NCT07225582Recruiting
Best sensory feedback for hand function after spinal injury
This study is for people who have already received the ReHAB system in a previous trial. It aims to find the best ways to use sensory feedback from the device to help with hand and arm function after tetraplegia.
Cleveland, OhioAges 22–65 - NCT03622879Recruiting
Mirror therapy plus mild skin stimulation for leg movement after stroke
This trial tests whether using a mirror together with mild electrical stimulation on the skin can improve lower-limb movement after stroke. You may be eligible if you can already lift your ankle a bit and walk independently, and if certain thinking, vision, and skin issues are not present.
Hong KongAges 55–85 - NCT06536634Recruiting
Electrical stimulation for arm function in kids with hemiparesis
This study tests if gentle electrical stimulation of the skin on the weaker arm can improve hand function in children who have weakness on one side due to a brain injury before age 16. The results will help understand how the stimulation works and whether it can help with daily activities.
BernAges 6–18 - NCT06725550Recruiting
Acupuncture for pain in sickle cell disease
This trial tests whether adding acupuncture to standard pain treatments can help manage pain in people with sickle cell disease. It involves brain scans, questionnaires, and acupuncture sessions to see if this approach reduces pain and improves quality of life.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 14–80 - NCT05982730Recruiting
Segway training for balance and thinking in Parkinson's
