Quantifying Associations of Stress and Inflammation-Associated Oral Biomarkers with Oral Health, Oral Health Behaviors, Systemic Biomarkers and Clinical Phenotype in Individuals with Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD)
Poor oral health may increase the risk of serious conditions like diabetes and stroke. Researchers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) are conducting a study to test a new questionnaire about oral health habits and to learn how oral health behaviors affect inflammation.
Cerebral Palsy and the Study of Brain Activity During Motor Tasks
Researchers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) seek participants age five and older with childhood-onset brain injury (e.g.,cerebral palsy) to join a research study. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and/or electroencephalography (EEG) may be used to study brain activity. Learning how the brain controls muscles may help design treatments to help patients with brain injury to move better.
