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.
Tooth and Tissue Sample Collection During Wisdom Teeth Removal
The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research at the NIH Clinical Center is looking for volunteers who need to have their wisdom teeth removed. Researchers will evaluate people who need to have their wisdom teeth removed. The removed wisdom teeth will be studied and used for further research.
Studies of the Natural History, Pathogenesis, and Outcome of Idiopathic Systemic Vasculitis
The National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in Bethesda, Maryland is conducting a study for vasculitis. Researchers are inviting both volunteers who have the condition, and those who do not, to participate in this study. All study-related tests and procedures are provided at no cost to you.
