Phase II Randomized Study of Early Surgery Vs Multiple Sequential Antiepileptic Drug Th... - 0 views

  •  
    Completed study that evaluated the efficacy of surgical resection of an identifiable zone of cortical abnormality versus multiple drug therapy in children with infantile spasms refractory to standard therapy: II. Assess how infantile spasms interfere with development and whether this is partially reversible. III. Determine the predictors of good surgical outcome and whether surgery permanently controls seizures and improves development.

Late Hypothermia for Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy - 0 views

  •  
    Clinical trial being sponsored by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development NICHD to evaluate whether induced whole-body hypothermia initiated between 6-24 hours of age and continued for 96 hours in infants ≥ 36 weeks gestational age with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy will reduce the incidence of death or disability at 18-24 months of age.

Metabolic Abnormalities in Children With Epilepsy - 0 views

  •  
    Completed study sponsored by NINDS designed to use positron emission tomography to measure brain energy use. Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is a technique used to investigate the functional activity of the brain. The PET technique allows doctors to study the normal processes of the brain (central nervous system) of normal individuals and patients with neurologic illnesses without physical / structural damage to the brain.

Physiological Investigations of Movement Disorders - 0 views

  •  
    Study to improve understanding of the pathophysiology of movement disorders by performing small behavioral, electrophysiological and neuroimaging substudies. This will allow identifying dysfunction of the central nervous system that causes behavioral abnormalities seen in movement disorder patients.

Efficacy of Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) in Persons Receiving Botulinum Neur... - 0 views

  •  
    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

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.
