Featured Studies

Researchers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Clinical Center are testing if spironolactone can be used to treat PAH. Spironolactone is a medication that can help with fluid retention, however it may also be beneficial to adults with PAH by controlling inflammation and improving blood vessel function in the lungs.

Researchers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) seek participants age five and older with childhood-onset brain injury (e.g.,cerebral palsy) to join a research study. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and/or electroencephalography (EEG) may be used to study brain activity. Learning how the brain controls muscles may help design treatments to help patients with brain injury to move better.

Researchers at NIH are testing a new therapy in patients diagnosed with colitis due to chronic granulomatous disease (CGD). The research aims to see if restoring the gut microbiome reduces inflammation in the colon.

We are looking for people recently diagnosed with Lyme disease to help us answer important questions about the infection. If you have or had the rash associated with acute Lyme disease (erythema migrans), facial palsy, meningitis, heart block, or arthritis; please consider participating in our study.

Each year, the number of cases of tick-borne diseases increases. Researchers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Lyme Disease Studies Unit is looking for healthy volunteers to participate in a research study to learn more about how the human immune system responds to tick bites.

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is conducting a research study of the causes and responses to treating multiple sclerosis (MS) and other brain and spine inflammatory conditions. Join this study if you have MS or a related disease. Although the study does not offer treatment options, your participation may help in future discoveries and inspire hope.
