Evaluation and treatment of brain and nerve surgery conditions
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This is a research program at the National Institutes of Health that evaluates and treats people with surgical brain and nerve conditions—like brain tumors, epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, and chronic pain. You'll receive expert evaluation and care while helping doctors learn more about these disorders.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 4 years old
- You have a neurosurgical condition (brain tumor, nerve tumor, epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, movement disorder, Chiari syndrome, brain malformation, or chronic pain disorder) or are a blood relative for genetic testing
- You can provide informed consent, or a parent/legal guardian can consent on your behalf
- You are able to undergo medical evaluation and treatment for your condition
- If participating in the biological samples part only, you must be willing to provide skin biopsies or saliva samples

This study is looking at people with inherited (genetic) neurological conditions, as well as their family members, to better understand these diseases. Participants will receive a thorough evaluation, which may help with diagnosis and research.
This study looks at how infections or inflammation involving the brain and spinal cord work, using patient data and samples. It may help researchers better understand these illnesses and improve future care.
This study looks at how immune-related brain or spinal cord illness shows up using exams, MRI scans, and sometimes a spinal fluid test (lumbar puncture), plus collected blood and other samples. It may help researchers better understand these conditions and improve future diagnosis or treatments.
This study enrolls healthy adults to take part in future research on the brain and nervous system at the National Institutes of Health. By joining, you help scientists learn more about how the brain works and how to treat neurological conditions.
This study looks for and tracks nervous system problems in people with immune system disorders. It aims to better understand how infections or inflammation affect the brain and nerves in these patients.
This study collects information and/or tissue for a research library from people who have had neurosurgery and from certain family members. It helps researchers study brain, blood-vessel, injury, tumor, and related conditions.
