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.

- 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

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 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 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 is testing a new, faster way to check for syphilis in pregnant people, new mothers, and their newborns, as well as in men and non-pregnant people at a Harris Health clinic. The goal is to make sure more people get the right treatment quickly.
This study looks at how the immune system works in certain neurological conditions, including autoimmune encephalitis and related nerve disorders. Researchers may use blood and/or spinal fluid samples, especially when antibodies are present or can’t be found, to better understand what’s driving the illness.
This study looks at blood and other samples from people with brain-related conditions that might involve inflammation or infection. It aims to find immune markers that could help understand these illnesses better.
