Research Studies: Healthy Volunteers
Currently Enrolling Studies
4-Repeat Tauopathy Neuroimaging Initiative - Cycle 2 (4RTNI-2)
-
This study is investigating the best method of analysis to track patients with corticobasal syndrome, corticobasal degeneration, progressive supranuclear palsy, and oligo- or variant-progressive supranuclear palsy. The results will provide information about the value of novel imaging techniques for diagnosis and value of novel imaging techniques in comparison to biofluid biomarkers.
-
The data collected from healthy volunteers will be used to understand how CBS, CBD, PSP and o/vPSP progress in comparison to healthy aging.
-
The study will collect detailed clinical information, biofluids, and imaging data from individuals with corticobasal degeneration and progressive supranuclear palsy. There will be one visit every six months for a year (a total of three visits over one year). Oligo- or variant- progressive supranuclear palsy, and healthy participants will be asked for an additional visit approximately one year after the third visit (adding up to four visits over two years). A study partner is required.
Non-invasive Continuous Ultrasonic Blood Pressure Monitoring
-
This research study is evaluating the use of continuous blood pressure monitor ultrasonic patch to learn more about orthostatic hypotension.
-
The study is recruiting healthy volunteers and individuals with Hypotension, Prehypertension and Stage 1 or 2 hypertension.
Real-Time Levodopa Level Monitoring in Parkinson's disease
-
The project aims to develop a continuous, minimally invasive microneedle device called the "Levodopameter," which is designed to continuously measure levodopa levels in real-time with the future goals of identifying an individualized treatment regimen for Parkinson's disease patients to improve disease management.
-
This study is recruiting participants with Parkinson's disease as well as healthy volunteers.
