Featured Studies

Researchers at the National Institutes of Health seek healthy volunteers to participate in a research study. The purpose of this study is to test newly developed functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) scanning sequences that can be used in future protocols.

Researchers at the National Institutes of Health seek healthy volunteers to participate in a research study. The purpose of this study is to better understand how pain and emotions are processed in the human brain and influenced by psychological factors. This is an outpatient study that may involve moderate but tolerable pain. Researchers are studying how thoughts, feelings, and learning influence pain and perception.

Researchers at the National Institutes of Health seek healthy volunteers to participate in a research study. The purpose of this study is to better understand how pain and emotions are processed in the human brain and influence by psychological factors. This is an outpatient study that may involve moderate but tolerable pain (while having an MRI). Researchers are studying how thoughts, feeling, and learning influence pain and perception.

Researchers at the NIH Clinical Center are seeking healthy children for a study of growth and health behaviors. The purpose of the study is to better understand growth in children and adolescents.

The NIH is seeking children ages 2 and older with a history of eczema to participate in a study to identify better ways to diagnose food allergies. Participants do not need to have food allergies. Through this study, we hope to improve the ways food allergies are diagnosed and managed in children with eczema. Participants will not be charged for any service offered, including medications, and medical insurance is not required.

Researchers in the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health at the National Institutes of Health seek healthy volunteers to participate in a study investigating how our brain responds to pain. This study will allow researchers to collect information that may be used to learn more about pain disorders and how we respond to painful experiences.

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) seeks healthy volunteers for a study about blood vessel stiffness. In this study, healthy volunteers will be compared with patients with rare genetic conditions that affect the blood vessels. All study-related procedures are provided at no cost and compensation is provided.

Genetic testing sometimes tells a person or family unexpected results. These genetic test results are unrelated to the initial reason why the testing was done. These kinds of results are called "secondary results" or "secondary findings." If you or a member of your family have been given a secondary result please consider partnering with us on this research.
