Clinical and Scientific Assessment of Pain and Painful Disorders
Background Researchers want to better understand pain by studying people with and without different kinds of pain. To do this, researchers will expose people to pleasant and unpleasant sensations. They will ask them questions about their pain. Researchers also want to see if these people are eligible for other research …
Natural History Protocol for Movement Disorders
Background A movement disorder is a condition that causes a person s body to move in ways that are not normal. There are different types. Some disorders cause movements people can t control, such as tics or shaking. Some cause reduced or slow movements. Movement disorders can cause disability in …
Natural History, Pathogenesis, and Outcome of Ocular Disorders

Objective To examine and treat people with eye diseases and learn more about eye diseases and how they are inherited. Eligibility People with eye diseases who can give consent or have a …
Clinical and Genetic Studies of Li-Fraumeni Syndrome
Background Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS) is a genetic condition that increases the risk for some types of cancer. LFS may lead to cancer of the bone or connective tissue, breast, and brain. It may also increase the risk for certain types of leukemia and other cancers. The only known cause of …
Obtaining Solid Tumor Tissue From People Having Biopsy or Surgery for Certain Types of Cancer
Background Recent advances in cancer research have led to new therapies to treat the disease. It is important to continue these advances and discover new ones. To do that, researchers need tissue samples from solid tumors. This study will collect such samples from people already scheduled to have a procedure …

These conditions include multiple myeloma, different types of lymphoma, …
Adaptive Optics Retinal Imaging
Background By the time diseases of the retina are detected, serious damage has often already been done. Researchers want to find better ways of viewing the retina.
