Web site offers data base of Certified Driver Rehabilitation Specialists.
Study to obtain pharmacokinetic and safety data of bumetanide in newborns with refractory seizures. The overall hypothesis is that bumetanide, added to conventional antiepileptic (antiseizure) medications, will be a safe and well tolerated medication, compared with conventional antiepileptic drugs alone.
Imperial College London sponsored trial in newborn infants with perinatal asphyxial encephalopathy assessing whether a combination of hypothermia and inhaled xenon preserve cerebral metabolism and structure.
Study sponsored by NINDS to examine whether continuous use of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) in combination with motor training can lead to long-term improvement in movement performance beyond what can be achieved with motor training alone.
NINDS sponsored study will examine how the areas in the brain are connected when they are controlling two finger movements at the same time. Study will examine how people use what they see to help guide two different movements. Studying will further examine the connectivity between the homologous motor areas of the two hemispheres, and between prefrontal cortex and parietal cortex, to understand sensorimotor integration processes during competitive and cooperative dual tasks.
NINDS sponsored study will investigate the role that a brain chemical called serotonin plays in seizures. Serotonin, present naturally in the brain, helps transmit signals between nerve cells. Glucose is a sugar that is the main fuel of the brain.
NINDS sponsored study will examine how certain language skills, such as naming objects, understanding spoken language and reading are organized in the brain and how they are affected by seizures.
NINDS sponsored study will examine the safety and effectiveness of infusing a chemical called muscimol into the brain to control seizures in patients with intractable epilepsy (frequent seizures that persist despite therapy). Muscimol, which is similar to a naturally occurring brain chemical called GABA, has been shown to reduce seizures in rats.
NINDS sponsored study will evaluate patients with muscle stiffness for possible participation in current or future research studies. It will determine the cause of muscle stiffness or cramps and measure the severity of symptoms
NICHD Neonatal Research Network and Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), part of the National Institutes of Health, initiated the Neonatal Research Network to conduct multi-center clinical trials and observational studies in neonatal medicine.
To evaluate the safety and multi-dose pharmacokinetics and dose ranging of intravenous followed by enteral myo-inositol (inositol) given at three dosage levels in extremely preterm neonates.
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is the United States government's principal agency for protecting the health of all Americans and providing essential human services, especially for those who are least able to help themselves.
Study being sponsored by the University of New Mexico. Hypothesis: one-dose pamidronate will prevent post-operative bone loss in children at risk for low bone density
Study sponsored by Assistance Publique-Hopitaux de Paris investigating Early Prevention of Broncho-pulmonary Dysplasia and Neonatal Mortality in Very Preterm Infants Using Low Dose of Hydrocortisone
Study will determine whether giving low-dose indomethacin to infants weight 500 to 999 grams (approximately 1 to 2 pounds) at birth improves their survival without cerebral palsy or developmental problems at 18 to 22 months of age.
