Using Cannabis to Treat Restless Legs Syndrome
Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) is a disorder that causes painful and uncomfortable sensations in the legs, and its symptoms have a significant impact on sleep and quality of life. Cannabis has been used by some RLS patients as a treatment due to its painkilling and drowsiness effects, however there has …
Functional Connectivity of the Interoceptive Network in RLS
Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) is a sensorimotor disorder primarily characterized by an irresistible urge to move the legs while at rest. A key hypothesis suggests that RLS symptoms are linked to abnormal brain function in processing internally generated stimuli, particularly interoception. This distorted perception of the internal bodily state leads …
Blood Changes After Exercise in Restless Legs Syndrome
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn how exercise changes molecules in the blood in people with restless legs syndrome (RLS) to better understand the cause(s) of RLS. The main questions the investigators aim to answer are: How does long-term exercise change proteins in the blood? How does …
Evaluating the Effects of Tasimelteon Vs. Placebo in Delayed Sleep-Wake Phase Disorder (DSWPD) and the CRY1Δ11 Variant
This is a double-blind, randomized, two-period crossover study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a single oral dose of tasimelteon and matching placebo in male and female subjects with DSWPD and the CRY1Δ11 variant.
Evaluating the Effects of Tasimelteon vs. Placebo in Delayed Sleep-Wake Phase Disorder (DSWPD)
This is a multicenter, double-blind, randomized study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a daily single oral dose of tasimelteon and matching placebo in male and female participants with DSWPD.
Non-Invasive Respiratory Monitor
This study will clinically evaluate a newly developed respiratory monitor - pneuRIP. The pneuRIP uses Respiratory Inductance Plethysmography (RIP) bands to measure key breathing indices non-invasively. This study compares the pneuRIP to an existing Respitrace system (Carefusion, Yorba Linda CA). 10 normal children and 10 children with breathing difficulties will …
[18F]NIDF PET Imaging in Tau-related Diseases
In the field of diagnosing brain neurodegenerative diseases, it is now a well-established practice to inject positron-emitting tracers into the human body. These tracers bind to specific target proteins, allowing their distribution to be visualized via PET imaging. Currently, several research groups worldwide are engaged in developing and clinically validating …
Mindfulness Walking Intervention to Enhance Resilience (iWalk)
This study is a randomized controlled trial of the walking meditation intervention (iWalk) program, a multi-component intervention integrating walking meditation, education, and group sessions designed to enhance resilience in individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS). The objectives are to evaluate: Recruitment capability and retention rates, Acceptability and adherence to the intervention, …
Blood Pressure Effects on Cognition and Brain Blood Flow in PD
Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder worldwide. Besides causing symptoms that impair movement, PD also causes non-motor symptoms, such as problems thinking and orthostatic hypotension (OH), i.e., low blood pressure (BP) when standing. About one-third of people with PD have OH, which can cause sudden, temporary …
Treating Leg Symptoms in Women With X-linked Adrenoleukodystrophy
The investigators recently observed that up to 25% of women with X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) have moderate to severe Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS). In this study, the investigators aim to estimate the prevalence of RLS among women with ALD and to assess whether pramipexole improves RLS symptoms as well as sleep …
