A Multicenter Pediatric Deep Brain Stimulation Registry
NCT06585618
Recruiting
There is limited data on outcomes for children who have undergone deep brain stimulation (DBS) for movement disorders, and individual centers performing this surgery often lack sufficient cases to power research studies adequately. This study aims to develop a multicenter pediatric DBS registry that allows multiple sites to share clinical pediatric DBS data. The primary goals are to enable large-scale, well-powered analyses of the safety and efficacy of DBS in the pediatric population and to fur... Read More

A Retrospective Survey-based Multicenter Study to Delineate the Molecular and Phenotypic Spectrum of Epilepsy-dyskinesia Syndromes
NCT06585605
Recruiting
The Epilepsy-Dyskinesia Study aims to advance the understanding of the clinical and molecular spectrum of epilepsy-dyskinesia syndromes, monogenic diseases that cause both movement disorders and epilepsy. Addressing challenges in rare disease research -such as small, geographically dispersed patient populations and a lack of standardized protocols- the study employs a multinational retrospective survey endorsed by the International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society. This survey seeks to co... Read More

Mono vs. Dual Therapy for Pediatric Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
NCT04039464
Recruiting
The investigators' central hypothesis is that early combination therapy with two PAH-specific oral therapies that have been shown to be well tolerated in the pediatric population, sildenafil and bosentan, will result in better World Health Organization (WHO) functional class at 12 months after initiation of PAH treatment than therapy with sildenafil alone.

Purinergic Signaling and the Postmenopausal Heart
NCT06015776
Recruiting
There is an increased risk of diastolic heart failure in post menopausal women. Estrogen plays a positive role in regulating molecular pathways in heart remodeling. Such pathways may work through purinergic signaling and its downstream effects on the heart's mitochondrial metabolism and angiogenic response to stress. Loss of estrogen functionality in post menopausal women may account for the increased risk of diastolic heart failure. The investigators will explore said pathways using cardiac tis... Read More

Longitudinal Spatial Frequency Domain Imaging Study
NCT05672992
Recruiting
Scleroderma (SSc) is an autoimmune disease characterized by fibrosis (or collagen deposition) of the skin and internal organs. The extent of skin fibrosis is an important predictor of internal organ complications and increased mortality. Currently imprecise and subjective methods that varies amongst different doctors for the same patient are available to quantify skin fibrosis in patients, by "pinching" their skin and assessing how thick it is; this is the method used to determine the modified R...
