3 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
DBS Matchmaker (https://www.dbsmatchmaker.com) is a platform designed to connect clinicians worldwide who are treating rare movement disorders with deep brain stimulation (DBS). It facilitates global collaboration and knowledge sharing to enhance patient care by improving patient selection, counseling, treatment, and outcomes for individuals with movement disorders.
The Registry and Natural History of Epilepsy-Dyskinesia Syndromes is focused on gathering longitudinal clinical data as well as biological samples (blood, urine, and/or skin/tissue) from male and female patients, of all ages, who have a genetic diagnosis of epilepsy-dyskinesia syndromes. Through prospective review and molecular data analysis, the study aims to identify patterns and correlations between movement and seizure disorders, uncovering genotype-phenotype relationships. The initiative's goals are to enhance understanding of epilepsy-dyskinesia syndromes, inform precision medicine approaches, and foster international collaboration.
The Epilepsy-Dyskinesia Study aims to advance the understanding of the clinical and molecular spectrum of epilepsy-dyskinesia syndromes, monogenic diseases that cause both movement disorders and epilepsy. Addressing challenges in rare disease research -such as small, geographically dispersed patient populations and a lack of standardized protocols- the study employs a multinational retrospective survey endorsed by the International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society. This survey seeks to collect comprehensive data on clinical features, disease progression, age of onset, genetic variants, and concurrent neurological conditions, standardizing data collection across countries to provide a unified understanding of these conditions. Through retrospective review and molecular data analysis, the study aims to identify patterns and correlations between movement and seizure disorders, uncovering genotype-phenotype relationships.
