Study of skills and development in hyperekplexia
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how children and adults with hyperekplexia develop and adapt over time. It may help researchers understand what support or treatment approaches work best for day-to-day development.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You (or your child) have a diagnosis of hyperekplexia based on specific exam and startle symptoms
- You are older than 2 years
- A parent/legal guardian (for a child) or the adult patient agrees to take part
- Your stiffness/startle is not caused by another known condition (such as injury or autoimmune disease)
- There isn’t another reason for developmental delays (for example, another major neurologic problem or serious head injury)
- You are not pregnant and not breastfeeding

This study is looking at people with developmental coordination disorder (dyspraxia) using specific movement and coordination assessments. It may help researchers better understand the condition and how to measure it for future treatments or support.
This study tests a new way to measure motor coordination in children using a virtual reality task. It may help evaluate and understand movement difficulties in children with cerebral palsy or developmental coordination disorder.
This study looks at how children with ADHD develop motor skills compared to children without ADHD. Your child will take part in assessments and receive support to improve their movement and coordination.
This study is translating and testing a tool that helps doctors assess muscle stiffness (hypertonia) in children with motor disorders. It aims to make the tool available in Turkish so it can be used more easily in clinics.
This study measures brain and nerve activity (brain signals) to find patterns that match Rett syndrome. It may help researchers better track Rett changes over time and develop more precise ways to measure response in future treatments.
This study checks whether a special device can reliably measure muscle stiffness and spasticity (tight, overactive muscles) in children. It includes children with cerebral palsy and healthy children to compare measurements and improve accuracy.
