Studying nervous system issues in immune disorders
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 2 years old or older (or 3 if visiting the NIH clinic).
- You have a known immune system problem (primary or acquired) or a nervous system infection or inflammation.
- You have a regular doctor who manages your health outside of the study.
- You are willing to have your blood or tissue samples stored and used for future research.
- You are willing to have genetic testing done on your samples.
- If you are a healthy volunteer or relative, you are not pregnant and have no known nervous system infection or inflammation.

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 is a long-term study that evaluates and follows patients with inflammatory conditions related to infections or immune system problems. Researchers at the National Institutes of Health want to understand these conditions better and may ask you to participate in related studies.
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 looks at how the immune system works in people who have—or might have—an increased risk of infections. It also enrolls their healthy blood relatives so researchers can compare immune features; results may help doctors understand who is at higher risk and why.
This study looks for genetic causes of immune problems, such as unusually frequent infections, abnormal allergies, or autoimmune or inflammation conditions. It may help by improving how doctors understand these disorders and by matching families with possible genetic diagnoses.
This trial helps doctors evaluate possible infection or inflammation and decide on the best management plan. You may be able to receive specialized care at the NIH if the study team thinks your situation fits.
