Evaluation of the Reproducibility of a Fatigability Test Fitted to Patients With Spinal Muscular Atrophy
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is an autosomal recessive neuromuscular disease caused by the degeneration of motor neurons in the anterior horn of the spinal cord, due to the absence of the SMN1 gene and the resulting lack of SMN protein. Some patients with particularly severe forms (types 0 or 1) …
A Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Nizubaglustat (AZ-3102) in Patients With GM2 Gangliosidosis or Niemann-Pick Type C Disease
This open-label study aims to gather long-term safety, tolerability, PK, biomarker, and clinical efficacy data relating to daily administration of Nizubaglustat in participants previously enrolled in the Phase 2 RAINBOW study (Cohort 1). In addition, the study aims to assess safety, clinical, and biochemical impact of transitioning NPC disease patients …
Characterization of New Phenotypes of Patients With Spinal Muscular Atrophy Treated With SMN Restoring Therapy
With the advent of new treatments for ASI, new phenotypes are emerging. The investigators propose to describe these new phenotypes by prospectively following children with ASI of all types treated with TRS and aged under 16 for 2 years.The investigators also propose to evaluate potential assessment tools to determine whether …
Temporal Interference Stimulation Treatment in Patients With Cognitive Impairment
This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of temporal interference stimulation (TIS), a non-invasive neuromodulation technique, in improving cognitive function in patients with cognitive impairment. TIS uses two high-frequency currents applied transcranially, which intersect within the brain to generate a low-frequency modulation field. This technique selectively modulates deep …
Structural and Functional Networks in ALS: An Insight Into Pseudobulbar Affect
The investigators aim to elucidate characteristics of structural and functional brain connectivity in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and pseudobulbar affect (PBA) using diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) and magnetoencephalography (MEG).
Active NBS Study: Decentralised Monitoring Motor Development in Children With Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy or Spinal Muscular Atrophy Identified by Newborn Screening
The Active NBS Liege study is a monocentric, academic, fully remote, observational study designed to validate digital measures of motor development in children with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) or Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) identified through newborn screening, family testing, or incidental diagnosis. The study will enroll 100 children and follow …
Chinese-Specific Speech Imagery Coding Using High-Density ECoG
The goal of this study is to investigate whether high-density electrocorticography (ECoG) signals recorded from the surface of the brain can be used to decode neural representations of Mandarin Chinese speech features, including lexical tone, without requiring overt speech movements. The study focuses on the development and evaluation of decoding …
Longitudinal Imaging of Microglial Activation in Different Clinical Variants of Alzheimer's Disease
The purpose of this study is to determine how inflammation is related to other changes in the brain that occur during the progression of Alzheimer's disease. The investigators are also studying how inflammation is related to the symptoms that first occur in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD). For this reason, …
Long Term Effect of Brain Stimulation in PPA
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the effect of non-invasive brain stimulation techniques in the progression of primary progressive aphasia for 6 months. We will compare three modalities of brain stimulation (TMS, tDCS, TMS+tDCS) against sham stimulation. All patients will receive also language therapy.
Safety and Tolerability of Low Motoneuron Stimulation Via Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation in Spinal Muscular Atrophy
There is a general physiological rule that any organ or system needs some minimal amount of activity to prevent its atrophy or degeneration. Although the relevance of that rule to exercises in neuromuscular patients and for SMA in particular is not definitely proven, clinical observations seem to support this assumption. …
