Are You or a Loved One Diagnosed with a Neurobehavioral and/or Movement Disorder?
What is the purpose of this study?
The
purpose of this research study is to create an electronic database that may
help researchers identify patients for future studies on neurobehavioral
disorders and movement disorders.
Researchers
are attempting, in current and future research studies, to increase our
understanding of these disorders and develop better treatment options.
Who can participate?
Infants,
children, teens and adults who are diagnosed with a neurobehavioral disorder or
movement disorder may be eligible to participate.
These
types of disorders affect the way the brain processes information and controls
the body. Examples include Tourette Syndrome (TS), Sydenham’s Chorea, Dystonia,
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Obsessive Compulsive
Disorder (OCD).
What is involved?
If you choose to participate, you or your child will
be asked to fill out a short form including your name, guardian’s name (if
applicable), contact information, age, gender, demographic information and
diagnosis. You will also be asked whether you or your child would like to be
considered for participation in future studies that may require a blood draw.
A detailed list of procedures will be provided to
anyone interested in knowing more about this study.
What are the benefits?
You or your child will not receive a direct
medical benefit from being in this study. The information in this database may
be used to recruit participants for studies that may benefit other patients
with neurobehavioral disorders or movement disorders in the future.
Will I get all the facts about the study?
You, as the participant or as the parent or
guardian, will be given a consent form that thoroughly explains all of the
details of the study. The form covers
all of the procedures, the risks, the benefits, the pay, who to contact with
questions or concerns and more. A member
of the study staff will review the consent form with you and will be sure that
all of your questions are answered.
Do participants receive pay, compensation or reimbursement?
Participants will
not be paid for their participation in this study.
Who should I contact for more information?
