Can a TV drama teach about brain infections?
Part of Brain & nervous system, Infections clinical trials.
This study wants to see if watching a medical TV drama on Netflix can help people learn more about a brain infection called neurocysticercosis. It is for young adults who are not medical professionals and have not learned about this infection before.

This study follows patients who have been treated for neurocysticercosis—a brain infection caused by a parasite—to learn how they recover over time and what long-term effects they experience. By joining, you'll help doctors better understand this condition and improve care for future patients.
This trial tests whether a combination of two medicines (praziquantel and albendazole) works better than one medicine (albendazole alone) for treating a parasitic brain infection that causes seizures. Participants will be hospitalized for up to 20 days and followed for one year to see how well the infection clears and if symptoms improve.
This study tests a program to help teenagers with epilepsy better understand their health and manage their condition. The program involves educational activities and surveys.
This study looks at how doctors use electronic medical records to improve treatment and care for people with certain brain and nervous system conditions. It may help because it tests practice-based approaches across neurology visits.
This study looks at how epilepsy affects a brain chemical that helps control breathing and alertness. It uses a special scan to see this chemical, which may help find better treatments for seizures.
This trial tests whether watching a medical TV drama on Netflix can help people learn more about asthma. You can join if you are between 18 and 35, have internet and Netflix, and do not have asthma or medical training.
