Long-term study of proteins in spinal fluid from neurologic patients
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a condition affecting your brain or nervous system
- You need a procedure that collects spinal fluid (like a spinal tap or brain surgery)
- You agree to let leftover fluid samples be stored and used for research
- You do not object to taking part in the study

This study looks at the immune system's role in neurological problems caused by cancer immunotherapy or autoimmune diseases. Researchers will collect spinal fluid to find out which immune targets are involved, which may help improve diagnosis and treatment.
This study looks at spinal fluid and MRI results in people with Alzheimer’s disease, frontotemporal dementia, or normal thinking (controls). It aims to understand differences in brain-related cells and measure what might help explain or track these conditions.
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 looks at spinal fluid (cerebrospinal fluid, or CSF) to find markers that may signal a brain or spinal tumor or related abnormal growth. If you have a suspected tumor near the CSF spaces, these results may help doctors better classify what’s going on.
This study collects and analyzes spinal fluid from patients having surgery with spinal anesthesia. It aims to learn more about the fluid's composition to help understand neurological conditions.
This study collects cerebrospinal fluid (the fluid around the brain and spinal cord) during a lumbar puncture. It aims to improve how doctors use this information for accurate diagnosis in patients who need the procedure.
