UCF Cerebrospinal Fluid Biobank for Adults
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital, Injuries & trauma, Mental health clinical trials.
This is a research biobank at the University of Central Florida that collects and stores cerebrospinal fluid samples for future studies. It is open to most adults who can give their consent.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study is building a biobank—a collection of donated tissue samples—to help researchers better understand diseases and find new treatments. If you are having surgery that removes tissue, you may be able to donate a small part of that tissue for research.
This study builds a blood and spinal fluid (lumbar puncture) sample library from people with ALS, ALS-FTD, or similar neurodegenerative diseases. Your samples help researchers study these conditions, even if you are not receiving a new treatment.
This study will look at leftover spinal fluid from people with brain or nerve conditions to find proteins that may help diagnose or track these diseases. If you are already scheduled for a spinal tap or brain surgery, your extra fluid could be used for this research.
This study collects extra fluid from a spinal tap to learn more about brain and nerve diseases. It may help find better treatments in the future.
This study collects biological samples from adults with a confirmed brain tumor. Samples may help researchers better understand brain tumors and improve future treatments.
This study collects blood, saliva, or skin samples from people with certain neurological conditions and from healthy volunteers to help researchers better understand and find treatments for these diseases.
