The mission of the Hydrocephalus Clinical Research Network is to dramatically improve the lives of kids suffering from hydrocephalus by conducting important and field-changing, multi-center clinical research.

Recognized as one of the best hospitals in the United States-is Iowa's only comprehensive academic medical center. A 680-bed comprehensive academic medical center and regional referral center, UI Hospitals and Clinics is committed to providing patient-focused care-available to every person, around the clock-in an environment devoted to innovative care, excellent service, and exceptional outcomes.

Mayo research study to determine if there are enough patients with hard to treat epilepsy that might qualify for a future study of a medical device that is being developed to treat epilepsy. Participants will not be testing the device during this study. The study doctor will be assessing seizure type(s) and determine how frequently they occur, and to verify if antiseizure medications can be held constant for a period of 12 weeks.

The objective of this study is to gather clinical and survivorship information for the C2a-Taper™ Acetabular System, a ceramic on ceramic hip articulating system

Dr. Christine Houlihan of the University of Virginia is conducting a clinical study to look at how childrens bones grow and mature when they have Cerebral Palsy. This information will be compared to growth in children that do not have Cerebral Palsy

2003 International Federation of Clinical Neurophysiology study to assess the relationship between cerebellum and brain cortical activity without motor factors, we recorded the mid-latency auditory evoked responses (MLRs) with simultaneous recording of the electroencephalography (EEG) at rest in patients with 'pure cortical cerebellar atrophy (CCA)'.

UK clinical trial assessing the effectiveness of Treatment of Contractures with Mechanically Applied Stretch and Heat

Active research programs of the faculty of the Department of Neurology span the full spectrum of translational neuroscience research from the most basic neuroscience to highly clinically-oriented research, such as clinical trials.

Hypothesis of study is that among women with twin or triplet pregnancies, weekly injections of 17-alpha-hydroxyprogesterone caproate (17OHP), started before 24 weeks of gestation, will reduce neonatal morbidity by reducing the rate of preterm delivery.This study involves two concurrent double-blinded randomized clinical trials of 17OHP versus placebo. Each trial will test the efficacy and safety of 17OHP in women with a specific risk factor for preterm birth. The two risk factors to be studied are: Twin pregnancy - Triplet pregnancy

In large, multicenter clinical studies, a therapy has been shown to significantly lower the risk of lung and brain damage in some very low birthweight premature infants. Results from two randomized clinical trials demonstrate that when given within the first few weeks of life, inhaled nitric oxide helps prevent chronic lung disease in some low birthweight premature infants. In addition, when used within 48 hours after birth, treatment appears to protect some premature newborns from brain injury.

Cerebral Palsy at Mayo Clinic - Overview - Diagnosis - Treatment Options Information

Provides information on completed study and clinical trial on clinical and Instrumental Evaluation of Swallowing in Children with Cerebral Palsy. Purpose of study was to coorelate the alimentary consistencies and deglutition disorders in children with cerebral palsy

Children's Specialists Foundation sponsored study is determine the radiographic and clinical outcomes of Scoliosis surgical treatment in patients with Cerebral Palsy.

McGowan Institute of Regenrative Medicine. A program of the University of Pittsburgh and UPMC. Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh and the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center are working to quickly identify and treat shock, a problem that affects an estimated 1 million emergency room patients every year. Researchers are working on a unique diagnostic medical device currently in clinical trials.

The first comprehensive comparative effectiveness clinical trial of three widely used anti-seizure drugs for childhood absence epilepsy - the most common form of epilepsy in kids - has established an evidence-based approach for initial drug therapy. Published March 4 in the New England Journal of Medicine*, data from the double-blind, randomized, comparative clinical trial fill a large information gap in the treatment of childhood absence epilepsy, also known as "petit mal" epilepsy. The research, which identifies important differences between drugs in seizure control and side effects, is expected to impact how physicians select and monitor initial therapy for children with the disorder and ultimately lead to improved outcomes.

Completed Clinical Trial to assess Effect of Power Wheelchairs on the Development and Function of Young Children with Severe Physical Disabilities

Mayo Clinic researchers are looking at a new procedure that involves surgically placing a Responsive Neurostimulator (RNS) in the brain that may be able to suppress seizures in patients with epilepsy

Cincinnati Children's is conducting a research study, sometimes known as a clinical trial or clinical study, to better understand what causes epilepsy and the role our genes play, which treatments will be more effective, and why some families have multiple relatives with seizures
