The Myelin Disorders Biorepository Project
NCT03047369
Recruiting
The Myelin Disorders Biorepository Project (MDBP) seeks to collect and analyze clinical data and biological samples from leukodystrophy patients worldwide to support ongoing and future research projects. The MDBP is one of the world's largest leukodystrophy biorepositories, having enrolled nearly 2,000 affected individuals since it was launched over a decade ago. Researchers working in the biorepository hope to use these materials to uncover new genetic etiologies for various leukodystrophies,... Read More

Self-Administered Gaming and Exercise at Home (SAGEH)
NCT05929027
Recruiting
This study aims at comparing manual function outcomes between the standard of care and additional self-administered hand therapy after stroke. Strokes are common neurological injuries, and although rates of survival have increased in recent decades, survivors often continue to experience deficiencies in hand dexterity and bimanual function. Most motor recovery takes place within the first 3 months after a stroke. This initial period is necessary for stabilizing the patient but also provides diff... Read More

Peripheral Modulation of Muscle Stiffness and Spasticity
NCT03306615
Recruiting
This is a single-center, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, sequential Phase II trial of human recombinant hyaluronidase injections in individuals with post-stroke upper limb muscle stiffness. The investigators will recruit 56 subjects, who will be randomized to receive either the intervention or normal saline injections (first injection), and then the intervention the participants did not receive first (second injection). All individuals will receive the treatment by the end of the s... Read More

Hybrid Robot+FES Stroke Rehabilitation
NCT04550728
Recruiting
The investigators have developed a novel robot-guided stretching under intelligent control and combine it with active movement training, which helped increase joint ROM, reduce spasticity and joint stiffness, increase muscle force output, and improve locomotion. However, for stroke survivors with sensorimotor impairment, their peripheral muscle may not sufficiently be recruited. Functional electrical stimulation (FES), has been shown its advantage to activate the peripheral muscles for people wi... Read More

The goal of this observational study is to learn how a physician uses the results of the Percepta® Nasal Swab test to manage people with a newly identified pulmonary nodule. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does the use of the Percepta Nasal swab test reduce the number of invasive procedures in people with a low-risk result and whose nodule is benign? * Does the use of the Percepta Nasal swab test decrease the time to treatment in people with a high-risk result and whose nodule is c...
