MRI for inherited brain changes in children
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study uses MRI scans to look at brain changes in children with inherited neurodegenerative or metabolic diseases. It may help doctors better understand these conditions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child has symptoms of a neuro-developmental or metabolic condition and has been referred to a pediatric neurologist.
- Your child has been diagnosed with an inherited neurodegenerative disease and is being followed by a doctor.
- Your child has not had a brain injury from lack of oxygen at birth, stroke, head injury, or certain diseases like heart disease, kidney failure, or autoimmune disorders.

This study uses magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to examine the brain in people with metabolic diseases compared to healthy volunteers. If you qualify, you will have an MRI scan to help researchers understand how metabolic conditions affect the brain.
This study looks back at medical records of children and young adults (up to age 20) who had brain MRIs to understand developmental delays. It aims to gather information that could help improve care for kids with similar conditions.
This study uses MRI scans to look at the brains of healthy children ages 9 to 14. It helps researchers learn about normal brain development.
This study uses MRI scans to get detailed images of the heart in infants and children who have or might have congenital heart disease. It aims to help doctors see heart problems more clearly.
This study aims to improve MRI scan settings used when studying brain diseases that affect memory and movement. You would be asked to undergo MRI scanning as a healthy volunteer to help optimize the imaging process.
This trial studies how to make MRI images better for children with epilepsy that starts in one area of the brain. It may help doctors use brain MRI more effectively when evaluating where seizures begin.
