Summary

Children ages 3-4.5 years of age will watch videos designed to teach them made-up verbs. Then, they will be tested on whether they were able to learn the made-up verbs that were presented to them. Findings from this study will help researchers better understand how children learn language and what word-learning situations are easy or difficult for toddlers. This study will be conducted virtually using video conferencing software.

Summary

The goal is to see how well mirikizumab works for people with ulcerative colitis. This involves looking at its effects in their everyday lives. Understanding its real-world benefits helps determine how effective the medicine is outside of controlled clinical trials.

A Neural Basis for Cognitive Decline Following Deep Brain Stimulation: A DBS-fMRI Study

Date Added
March 18th, 2025
PRO Number
Pro00142451
Researcher
Daniel Lench

List of Studies

Keywords
Brain, Parkinsons
Summary

The purpose of this research study is to learn how Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS), which targets a part of the brain called the subthalamic nucleus (STN), may affect thinking and memory in people with Parkinson's Disease (PD). We plan to include about 55 people with PD who have already had DBS surgery at MUSC's Clinical DBS Program.

As part of the study, participants will attend two visits after their DBS surgery. The first visit, which will last about three hours, includes going over the study information and consent form, collecting background information (demographics), and completing tests that measure thinking and memory (cognitive assessments). The second visit, also about three hours, will involve an MRI scan to look at how the brain's networks change when the DBS device is turned on and off.

These findings may help doctors and researchers make better decisions about which patients are most likely to benefit from DBS surgery and how to choose the best stimulation settings to reduce unwanted changes in thinking and memory.

Dynamic motor cortical responses to subdural electrical stimulation.

List of Studies


Keywords
Parkinsons
Summary

Current surgical treatments for Parkinson's disease have associated risks that may prevent patients from being offered surgery called "deep brain stimulation" or DBS. This is mainly because electrodes have to be placed through brain tissue to reach the target. Stimulation at the surface of the brain might be a potential alternative, but current research has not shown consistent results, and this may be because the mechanism of action is not clear. In this study, we aim to stimulate and record the brain at the surface to help answer this question and potentially improve the consistency and effectiveness of this treatment.

Evaluation of a Text Message-Based Approach to Depression Screening Among Cancer Survivors

Date Added
March 18th, 2025
PRO Number
Pro00142039
Researcher
Evan Graboyes

List of Studies


Keywords
Cancer, Depression
Summary

Depression is common among cancer survivors but current screening approaches are not adequate. To help develop better strategies to screen for depression among cancer survivors, we will conduct a pilot randomized controlled trial with cancer survivors to evaluate whether a text message based approach to depression screening is feasible, acceptable, and potentially more effective than existing standard of care approaches to depression screening among cancer survivors.
