Study of diagnostic markers for neurosyphilis
Part of Brain & nervous system, Infections clinical trials.
This study looks for better ways to diagnose neurosyphilis, an infection that affects the brain and spinal cord. Researchers will compare test results from people with neurosyphilis, people with syphilis but no brain involvement, and healthy volunteers.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Adults between 18 and 65 years old
- At least a junior high school education
- Good enough hearing and vision to complete study tests
- No metal implants or history of seizures (for people getting brain stimulation)
- Not pregnant or breastfeeding
- Must not have HIV

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial focuses on people in Denmark who may have an infection in the brain or the fluid around the brain and spinal cord. Researchers aim to collect and compare diagnostic results for different infection types (viral meningitis, bacterial meningitis, encephalitis, and others) to help confirm the cause and guide care.
This study looks at “biomarkers,” which are measurable signs in the body, to learn more about neurological diseases. If you join and can be followed over time, your information may help researchers understand disease patterns and improve care.
This study tests two new blood tests for syphilis. It compares them to approved tests using blood from people who may have or had syphilis, including pregnant women, HIV-positive people, and healthy volunteers.
This study will see how well a new blood test can detect syphilis. You may be able to join if you have had syphilis in the past or have an unknown infection status.
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 the immune system might be involved in brain and psychiatric conditions. They will compare people with such conditions to healthy controls, using blood tests and possibly a spinal tap to look for immune markers.
