Magnetic Resonance Imaging Studies of Motor and Thought Processes Clinical Trials Data presented on Clinical Trials Search is not meant to be a substitute for qualified health advice, visits or treatment with a real mD. We are not doctors. Always consult your doctor about Magnetic Resonance Imaging Studies of Motor and Thought Processes conditions. Clinical Trials Search.org is a site devoted to listing clinical research studies in human subjects. Magnetic Resonance Imaging Studies of Motor and Thought Processes Clinical research trials and Magnetic Resonance Imaging Studies of Motor and Thought Processes healthcare trials happen in many of places across the United States. A clinical trial or clinical study is a research project with human volunteer subjects. Clinical drug trials and pharmaceutical clinical trials generally assess the effectivity of new drugs. The purpose of the studies / projects is to solve particular human medical questions. Clinical trials are a popular way for doctors, government agencies, and private sector companies to discover cures for all varieties of conditions, such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging Studies of Motor and Thought Processes. Magnetic Resonance Imaging Studies of Motor and Thought Processes Clinical Trials and other clinical trials allow volunteers to have health treatment alternatives before they are available to the masses. Some times the human subjects obtain treatment for without cost, and sometimes they are compensated for their time. Occasionally there is a cost for a Magnetic Resonance Imaging Studies of Motor and Thought Processes clinical trial. Test subjects oftentimes receive the most effective healthcare possible for their Magnetic Resonance Imaging Studies of Motor and Thought Processes condition. Dangers are a reality, however, and may include extra or frequent physician visits, healthcare dangers (possibly life-jeopardising), and/or the treatment being uneffective. Trials are federally governed with rigorous guidelines to protect clinical trials patients.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging Studies of Motor and Thought Processes
For Condition: Cerebrovascular Disorder,Healthy,Movement Disorder,Nervous System Disease,Spinal Cord Injury
Status: Completed
Sponsor(s): National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) ,
Synopsis: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a diagnostic tool that creates high quality images of the human body without the use of X-ray (radiation). MRI is especially useful when studying the brain, because it can provide information about certain brain functions. In addition, MRI is much better than standard X-rays at showing areas of the brain close to the skull and detecting changes in the brain associated with neurological diseases. In this study researchers will use MRI to gather information about the processes that control human movement and sensory processing. The purpose of the study is to investigate how the brain is activated when remembering, thinking, or recognizing objects. Researchers would like to determine what happens to brain functions when patients have trouble remembering, thinking, or recognizing objects following the start of disorders in the brain and nervous system. In addition, this study will investigate the processes of motor control in healthy volunteers and patients with disease.
Details: The main purpose of the studies presented in this protocol is to investigate the physiology of motor control in health as well as the pathophysiological modifications taking place during disease. Patients and normal volunteers will be scanned at rest and during different tasks, either while making repetitive movements or undergoing sensory stimulation. These studies should provide new insight concerning the processes that control human movement and sensory processing. The studies described in this protocol will be conducted by systems operating on 1.5 Tesla up to 4 Tesla, including a system at 3 Tesla which is going to be installed in near future.
