Study of Congenital Myasthenic Syndrome (CMS) Over Time
This study follows people with congenital myasthenic syndrome (CMS) over time to learn more about how the condition changes and to find better ways to measure symptoms. You will not receive any treatment, but your participation helps researchers understand CMS better.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 6 months–99 years - NCT06623721Enrolling by invitation
Ear stimulation during movement for stroke and injury recovery
This study tests a gentle ear stimulation device that activates a nerve when you move your arm or leg, to see if it helps your recovery after a stroke or brain/spinal cord injury. If you still have some weakness, this could be a way to boost your rehabilitation.
WeggisAges 18 years+ - NCT06605014Recruiting
Body alignment after stroke or mini-stroke
This study looks at how a stroke or mini-stroke affects the body's natural movement and alignment (called somatic dysfunction). Researchers want to see if there are common patterns of tightness or imbalance after a stroke, which could help guide future treatments.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06589700Recruiting
Atrial Fibrillation and Stroke Risk Study
This study looks at the link between the type of atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat that comes and goes) and the risk of having another stroke. It involves people who have had a recent ischemic stroke and have a certain type of AF.
London, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06596369RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Spinal cord stimulation for arm function after injury or stroke
This trial tests whether a mild electrical stimulation applied to the skin over your spine can improve arm and hand function after a spinal cord injury or stroke. It is for people with some preserved movement in their upper body.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 18–75 - NCT06577467Recruiting
Studying leftover virus after covid recovery
This study looks for signs of leftover SARS-CoV-2 virus in people who have fully recovered from COVID-19, including those with ongoing neurological symptoms (like brain fog, fatigue, or nerve pain). It aims to understand why some people have long-lasting symptoms after infection.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–110 - NCT06583395Enrolling by invitation
