Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT07826494Recruiting
Spinal stimulation for leg stiffness in cerebral palsy
This study tests a short-term treatment that uses mild electrical stimulation on the back to help reduce leg stiffness and improve walking in people with cerebral palsy. It may help you move more easily.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 4–65 - NCT07830654RecruitingPhase 2
Pet scan for Parkinson's disease
This study tests a new PET scan tracer called [18F]AV-133 to see if it can track Parkinson's disease over time. The scan may help doctors better understand the disease, and you would be part of the PPMI research program.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT07832318Recruiting
Herbal injection for chronic sciatica
This trial tests whether an herbal injection into acupuncture points can safely reduce leg pain from sciatica that has lasted more than 3 months. It compares this treatment to usual care, and may offer a new option for people who haven't found relief.

Vision rehabilitation for improving quality of life in low vision adults
This programme helps adults with low vision (not fully correctable by glasses) improve their daily life through a multi-disciplinary team approach. It may help you function better at home and in the community.
Kowloon, Hung HomAges 18–80 - NCT07833748Recruiting
Combined thinking and movement training for Parkinson's disease
This study tests a program that combines cognitive (thinking) exercises with physical (movement) training for people with Parkinson's disease. The goal is to see if this combined approach is feasible and beneficial for improving both mental and motor symptoms.
Ferrara, FEAges 18 years+ - NCT07833410Recruiting
Study of brain bleeding recovery with Chinese hospitals
This study looks at people who have had a brain bleed (intracerebral hemorrhage) to learn more about their recovery over time. It does not involve a new treatment but rather follows participants to understand the condition better.
