Measures nerve and muscle signals in healthy people and patients
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study uses a painless electrical method to record how muscles and nerves work over time. It aims to better understand normal patterns (healthy volunteers) and to learn how these signals change in people with neuromuscular or movement-related conditions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be an eligible age group: adult 18+, child 7–18, or patient age 2+
- Be generally healthy (for healthy volunteer groups) or have a suspected neuromuscular/movement condition (for patient group)
- Be willing and able to follow all study visits and stay through the full study
- Be able to understand the study and sign a written consent form (or have a legal guardian sign for children if needed)
- For healthy volunteers: have no history of stroke, muscle disease, peripheral nerve problems, or spine surgery
- For patient group: have evidence of a neuromuscular disorder (not “no clinical evidence” on exam)

This research study evaluates people with inherited neurological conditions (nervous system disorders that run in families) and their relatives. Researchers aim to better understand these conditions and improve diagnosis through clinical exams and genetic testing.
This study tests an assistive device that you control using signals from the brain and muscles without surgery. It may help people with movement problems communicate or operate devices using gentle, non-invasive sensing.
This study uses an ultrasound scan to look at muscles and nerves (including the breathing muscle). It may help researchers better understand neuromuscular problems and how well ultrasound can detect them.
This study collects information from people who may have a nerve or muscle problem or a nerve-degenerating illness, based on the usual care they already receive. It may help researchers understand symptoms and test results in real-world patients.
This trial is building a biobank (a secure research collection) from people with neuromuscular diseases, their families, or healthy volunteers. By joining, you help researchers study these conditions and improve future treatments.
This study measures how nerves communicate with muscles, using recordings and gels. It aims to spot early, personalized signs of conditions like ALS and related diseases, and to improve diagnosis.
