This trial tests whether taking extra choline (a nutrient similar to B vitamins) during pregnancy can improve health for mothers and babies. You may be eligible if you are early in a singleton pregnancy and do not drink alcohol.
Cape TownAges 18–45 - NCT07698405Recruiting
Advanced rehab technology for arm recovery after stroke
This study tests whether advanced technology-based rehabilitation can help people who have had a stroke regain movement and use of their affected arm. It may be a good option if you have had a single stroke and still have some arm weakness but no severe muscle tightness or memory problems.
Fiorenzuola d'Arda, PiacenzaAges 18 years+ - NCT07700862Recruiting
Deep brain stimulation for tremor-dominant Parkinson's disease
This trial compares two ways to place electrodes in the brain to reduce tremors. It may help people with Parkinson's disease whose main symptom is shaking.
