Exploring nervous system function in Down syndrome
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This trial studies how the nervous system works in people with Down syndrome. It may help understand differences in body functions and improve future care.

This study looks at how a healthy lifestyle program can improve brain health in adults with Down syndrome who are overweight or obese. You will attend a medical center three times over a year for tests, and you'll need a caregiver to support you.
This trial studies how aerobic exercise, alone or combined with a low calorie diet, affects body fat and weight in children with Down syndrome who are overweight or obese. The goal is to find a safe, effective way to help manage weight.
This trial tests a brain stimulation approach aimed at affecting brain activity in people with Down syndrome. It may help researchers understand whether this kind of stimulation can improve certain brain or thinking-related outcomes.
This trial studies whether a GnRH hormone treatment can improve thinking and memory in people with Down syndrome. It also checks safety and whether the treatment affects brain-related changes seen on MRI.
This study looks at how well a brain chemical system works in adults with Down syndrome as they age, including how it relates to Alzheimer’s-type brain changes and thinking skills. It uses brain scans and memory/thinking tests to see whether these measures can help track risk or changes over time.
This research study aims to better understand Down syndrome by collecting health information, family history, and sometimes brain imaging or sleep data from children and adults with Down syndrome and their families. The goal is to advance knowledge that could improve health and development for people with Down syndrome.
