The purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of mexiletine hydrochloride in patients with spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy.The main questions it aims to answer are:Does mexiletine hydrochloride improve the ALSFRS-R score in spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy patients?Participants will:Take mexiletine hydrochloride or a placebo …
Stimulating the Aging Brain Using Brain and Sensory Stimulation
The goal of this project is to investigate whether transcranial electrical stimulation and sensory stimulation affect language outcomes in individuals with primary progressive aphasia (PPA). The main questions it aims to answer are:Does transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) affect verbal short-term memory (STM) in individuals with PPA? Does a single …
Social & Affective Cognition in Alzheimer's Disease & Associated Disorders
Recent studies have shown that individual neuropsychological scores of patients with Alzheimer's disease and Associated Disorders (ADAD) are only poorly correlated to their behavioral difficulties, such as disinhibition, apathy, social decision-making or vulnerability. Recently, social & affective cognitive disorders have been highlighted as potential cause of social behavioral abnormalities. However, …
Inspiratory Muscle Training in Amiotrophyc Lateral Sclerosis
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) progressively damages the nerve cells responsible for voluntary muscle movement. Over time, this leads to weakness in different muscles such as those used for movement or breathing. Breathing problems are one of the main causes of complications and reduced survival in people with ALS. This happens …
VRehab-SMA Phase 1.2
Spinal muscular atrophy is a genetic disorder characterized by progressive muscle weakness, severely impacting patients' motor abilities. Several disease modifying therapies have been developed to treat Spinal muscular atrophy which have led to new disease trajectories . According to standard of care guidelines, exercise programs should be designed and monitored …
Longitudinal Multi-Modality Imaging in Progressive Apraxia of Speech
The study is designed to determine the relationship between structural and functional changes in the brain on imaging and progression of speech and language, neurological and neuropsychological features in patients with neurodegenerative apraxia of speech (AOS).
Intervention for Communication Quality of Life in Primary Progressive Aphasia
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether a personalized, multi-component, virtual speech language treatment program can improve communication and quality of life for adults with primary progressive aphasia (PPA) and their primary communication partners. The study will enroll participants who speak English and/or Spanish.The main questions the …
SUPRATHEL 250 as a Treatment for Oropharyngeal Wounds

Research on Wireless Brain Implant System for General Control of External Devices
The clinical trial aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the minimally invasive, wireless brain-machine interface system (WRS) in enabling general brain control of external devices, such as a cursor and other assistive technologies, for paralyzed and amputee patients.WRS integrates a high-throughput, ultra-flexible neural electrode with an extremely small …
Cognitive Reserve and Response to Speech-Language Intervention in Bilingual Speakers With Primary Progressive Aphasia
Difficulties with speech and language are the first and most notable symptoms of primary progressive aphasia (PPA). While there is evidence that demonstrates positive effects of speech-language treatment for individuals with PPA who only speak one language (monolinguals), there is a significant need for investigating the effects of treatment that …
