Provides neurologists and other physicians with diagnostic answers that can improve the quality of health care for patients in a cost effective manner. Athena is a leading provider of advanced neurological diagnostic assays

A randomized control trial being sponsored by Columbia University to test the efficacy of contraint-induced movement therapy and a new treatment involving bimanual (Hand-Arm Bimanual Intensive Therapy (HABIT).

Information on ongoing study being sponsored by Medical College of Georgia to test the safety and effectiveness of cord blood infusion in children with motor disabilities due to cerebral palsy.

"The purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness of a behavioral intervention to promote physical activity adoption over 6 months and maintenance of physical activity over another 6 months by community-dwelling manual wheelchair users."

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.

Duke University and Multicenter, Open-label Study to Investigate the Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics of Lacosamine (LCM) Oral Solution (syrup) as Adjunctive Therapy in Children with Partial Onset Seizures. This study is being done to test the safety of the study drug Lacosamide (LCM) syrup and how the body processes it.

Study to evaluate the effects of pre-operative gait analysis testing on surgical outcomes in children with cerebral palsy who have problems walking.

University of California, Irvine research project to determine which combination of tests will enable physicians to predict whether a patient with symptoms of normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) will improve with a shunt.

Study is to determine the predictive values and prognostic accuracies of CSF dynamic measures, the TAP -TEST (high-volume cerebrospinal fluid withdrawal), resistance to CSF outflow and compliance in the prediction of shunt-treatment outcome in patients with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus.

Study to determine if a therapy regiment of the medication Hemin can improve symptoms in diabetic patients with gastroparesis (slow gastric emptying). We want to test the effects of this new medication on the rate at which food empties from your stomach and on your symptoms

2010 Ongoing study being conducted by NICHD - STAN Fetal Heart Monitor trial at clinicaltrials.gov - Research to test a new instrument, called a fetal STAN monitor, that may be used during labor to monitor the electrical activity of the baby's heart. This new instrument is designed to help the doctor determine how well the baby is doing during labor. It will be used along with the existing electronic fetal monitor used to measure the baby's heart rate and the mother's contractions during birth. The specific purpose of this research study is to see if this new instrument (fetal STAN monitor) will have an impact on newborn health.

Study being sponsored by the Medical College of Georgia to test the safety and effectiveness of a cord blood infusion in children who have motor disability due to cerebral palsy (CP).

Mayo study to evaluate a potential new treatment for epilepsy. Researchers want to learn if the investigational drug called perampanel is safe and can help people with partial seizures who are already taking seizure medications and the current seizure medications are not enough to control those seizures. Perampanel is being tested as a possible add-on drug for people with seizures who are taking other seizure medications.

Cincinnati Children's is conducting a research project to study the white matter of the brain in children with hydrocephalus (white matter connects areas in the brain responsible for normal function). Assessments will be done through MRIs and neuropsychological tests of behavior and development.

Study designed to test the safety and efficacy of the Medigus SRS endoscopic stapling system for the treatment of GERD. The system allows the operator to staple the stomach to the esophagus,in order to restore the gastroesophageal flap valve. The effect of the stapling is similar to a common operation for GERD (partial fundoplication) but is done through the mouth, and incision into the abdomen is not needed.

Study to test and compare the efficacy of Endoscopic Third Ventriculostomy with shunting of Cerbrospinal fluid (CSF) for treatment for patients of Normal pressure Hydrocephalus.
