Predicting recovery after back surgery for leg weakness
This study looks at which factors before surgery help predict how well leg weakness improves after a single-level microdiskectomy (minimally invasive back surgery for a slipped disk). It may help you understand what to expect if you are having this procedure.
KavalaAges 18 years+ - NCT07407725Recruiting
Study of brain-computer interface use in ALS, spinal cord injury, and healthy adults
This study tests how well people with ALS, spinal cord injury, or healthy volunteers can use a brain-computer interface (BCI). The goal is to learn how to measure what the device can do, which may help people with severe communication or movement limitations.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT07413835Recruiting
Study of HN2302 for hard-to-treat myasthenia gravis
This trial tests a new medicine called HN2302 for people with generalized myasthenia gravis (MG) that hasn't improved with standard treatments. It aims to see if HN2302 is safe and helps reduce muscle weakness symptoms.
