Biofluid research for brain and movement disorders
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision, Hormones & metabolism, Mental health clinical trials.
This study collects blood, spinal fluid, and other samples from people with brain or movement disorders, their family members, and healthy volunteers. The goal is to find better ways to diagnose and understand these conditions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have a brain or movement disorder such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, ALS, or a similar condition.
- You are a family member of someone with one of these conditions.

This study collects health information from people with neurodegenerative diseases, some family members, and healthy controls to help researchers better understand these conditions. It may help future diagnosis and research, and participation may include noninvasive checks and other procedures depending on your situation.
This research study tracks how brain damage progresses in rare neurodegenerative diseases like frontotemporal dementia, primary progressive aphasia, PSP, CBS, and ALS. Researchers use brain imaging and tests to understand how these diseases spread in the brain, which could help develop better treatments.
This study follows people with frontotemporal dementia (FTLD) and related conditions, and collects health and (for some people) body fluid information, to understand how these illnesses change over time. It may help researchers track disease signs and find better ways to measure progression.
This study looks at blood tests to help diagnose and track brain diseases (like Alzheimer's) or mental health conditions. It compares patients to healthy volunteers to find better ways to detect and monitor these illnesses.
This study looks at how social factors and blood markers relate to psychiatric symptoms in people with brain diseases or mental disorders. It aims to find new ways to understand and diagnose these conditions.
This study is looking for people with neurodegenerative diseases (like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, ALS) to help researchers find new markers in the body that could help understand these conditions better and possibly lead to better treatments.
