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 …
Research Biobank From Neuromuscular Biopsy Residues (in the Context of Care)
Neuromuscular diseases are rare diseases for which significant progress has been made in the context of diagnosis thanks to advances in molecular techniques, but the intimate mechanisms of lesion formation remain poorly understood. Advances in cellular and molecular biology, the development of a few animal models, such as transgenic mice, …
[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 …
Restless Leg Syndrome: Is There a Response to Buddhist Walking Meditation in Hemodialysis
the restless leg syndrome is a common complaint in person who undergo hemodialysis. Buddhist walking meditation efficacy was not investigated in those population
Acceptability of Exoskeleton Assisted Walking for Persons With Mobility Issues Due to Multiple Sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, inflammatory disease of the central nervous system. Lack of physical activity is common in people with MS (pwMS). This can lead to several comorbid conditions such as obesity, metabolic syndrome, osteoporosis, hypertension, diabetes and worse prognosis. An increasing number of studies suggest that physical …
CIMR Neuromuscular Research Biobank
The purpose of this research repository is to collect, store, and share with other researchers any tissues that subjects with all types of neuromuscular disease are willing to donate. These samples will be stored at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) and will be used for future research with this population.
Acute Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation in Patients With Systemic Autoimmune Myopathies
Systemic autoimmune myopathies are a heterogeneous group of rheumatic diseases that primarily affect the skeletal muscles. The transcranial direct current stimulation technique has been frequent, for example, in patients with ischemic stroke or for the optimization of muscular performance in athletes. However, to date, there are no studies evaluating this …
Comparison of Diagnostic Performances of 3D FLAIR, DIR and PSIR Sequences in Optic Neuritis
Ultimately improve the care of patients suffering from multiple sclerosis (1st cause of acquired non-traumatic disability in adults) and NMO spectrum diseases by using more efficient MRI sequences than the FLAIR sequence commonly used in detection of optic neuritis. In the literature, many studies have already focused on comparing the …
