Botulinum Toxin for the Treatment of Involuntary Movement Disorders - 0 views

  •  
    Study will examine the effectiveness of botulinum toxin as treatment for a variety of movement disorders. The goals of the study are to refine the technique of treatment to provide the best results, to improve the understanding of how botulinum toxin works on movement disorders, and find other conditions that may be treatable with botulinum toxin.In addition, researchers also plan to study the possible use of botulinum toxin F alone and in combination with botulinum toxin A in patients who do not respond to botulinum A toxin treatment.

Human Movement Database - 0 views

  •  
    Study will collect information on the different ways people control limb and body movements. This information will be used to develop a database on normal movements and adaptive movements of people who have diseases that affect the way they move. The database will serve as a tool to improve diagnosis and treatment of patients with movement-related problems.

Pilot Efficacy Study of T2000 in Myoclonus Dystonia - 0 views

  •  
    Effect of treatment on the movement disorder will be measured by a myoclonus scale and a dystonia scale as well as by assessment of overall functional status. Response at various dosages will be compared to baseline for all patients.Safety parameters including neurological examination, blood tests and EKG will be monitored throughout the treatment period and during withdrawal of the medication.

Neurobiology of Psychogenic Movement Disorder and Non-Epileptic Seizures - 0 views

  •  
    This study is part of a series of studies that will explore how the mind and the brain work to cause episodes of uncontrollable shaking in people who have no known underlying brain or medical disorder. The study is conducted at NIH and at the Brown University Rhode Island Hospital.

Characterization of Executive Functions and Patterns of Eye Movements in Children With ... - 0 views

  •  
    Abnormal Executive function (EF) profile was considered a major characteristic of Attention deficit / hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism, and is frequently implicated in Developmental coordination disorder (DCD) children as well. This study is to characterize the profile of executive functions and eye movements in several populations of children with developmental disabilities.

Kennedy Krieger Institute: Cerebral Palsy and Other Movement Disorders Research - 0 views

  •  
    Running in parallel with clinical care in the Phelps Center for Cerebral Palsy and Neurodevelopmental Medicine are several Phelps Center research projects designed to improve classification and treatment for children with cerebral palsy. Using advanced neuroimaging techniques in the Kennedy Krieger Institute Kirby Research Center for Functional Brain Imaging researchers have identified specific white matter pathways that carry messages from one part of the brain to another.

NMBL - Neuromuscular Biomechanics Lab - 0 views

  •  
    The Neuromuscular Biomechanics Lab at Stanford University combines experimental and computational approaches to study movement. We investigate the form and function of biomechanical systems ranging from molecular motors to persons with movement disorders. We seek fundamental understanding of the mechanisms involved in the production of movement, and are motivated by opportunities to improve treatments for individuals with cerebral palsy, stroke, osteoarthritis, and Parkinson's disease.

Botulinum Toxin (BOTOX) for Cerebral Palsy - 0 views

  •  
    Clinical trial being conducted by Eunice Kennedy Shriver NationalInstitute of Child Health and Human Development NICHD to examine botulinum toxin (BOTOX, or BTX) for the treatment of muscle twitches and spasticity associated with cerebral palsy in children. Botulinum toxin is a naturally occurring bacterial toxin (botulinum toxin) that inactivates certain parts of muscles.

  •  
    FES is a form of treatment with a device to aid movement in people who have had damage to their brain or spinal cord. Small electrical impulses are used to excite and stimulate the nerves that supply paralyzed muscles. This research will look at any additional benefit that may occur when Botox injections are combined with specific occupational therapy exercises and with a device that uses functional electrical stimulation (FES) to help improve muscle function
