Adaptive deep brain stimulation for Parkinson's disease
This study tests a new type of deep brain stimulation (DBS)—a surgical treatment that uses electrical pulses to help control Parkinson's symptoms. Unlike standard DBS, this system adapts automatically to your body's needs. You may qualify if you've never had DBS surgery or if you've had it before and are willing to switch to the new device.

Brain Chemistry Study in Young People with Friedreich's Ataxia
This study looks at two brain chemicals (GABA and glutathione) in children and teens aged 8–15 with Friedreich's ataxia, a rare genetic condition affecting movement and coordination. The research aims to understand how these chemicals change in the brain and may help guide future treatments.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 8–16 - NCT07637084Recruiting
Light therapy for chronic pain and fatigue in Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome
This trial tests whether a non-invasive light therapy called photobiomodulation can reduce chronic pain and fatigue in people with hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS), a genetic condition affecting connective tissue. The light is applied to the skin and may help cells produce energy and reduce inflammation.
Boulogne-Billancourt, Île-de-France RegionAges 18 years+ - NCT07634627Recruiting
Understanding why teens get scoliosis – a protein study
This study looks at how proteins in the blood may help us understand why teenagers develop scoliosis (a sideways curve in the spine). If you have mild to moderate scoliosis and are getting care at Children's Hospital Colorado, you may be able to join this study to help researchers learn more about the condition.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 10–17 - NCT07629687Recruiting
Ear Nerve Stimulation for Balance After Stroke
This trial tests a non-invasive device that stimulates a nerve in your ear to help improve balance and body control after stroke. It may help you regain stability and reduce symptoms like muscle tightness.
