Language Stimuli Screening in Children Clinical Trials Facts presented on Clinical Trials Search isn't designed to be a substitute for proven healthcare advice, calls or treatment using a real mD. We aren't mDs. Always confer with your physician on Language Stimuli Screening in Children conditions. Clinical Trials Search.org is a website dedicated to listing clinical research studies in human subjects. Language Stimuli Screening in Children Clinical research trials and Language Stimuli Screening in Children healthcare trials happen in a lot of of localities across the United States of America. A clinical trial or clinical study is a research project with human volunteer subjects. Clinical drug trials and pharmaceutical clinical trials generally measure the potency of new drugs. The aim of the studies / undertakings is to answer particular human medical questions. Clinical trials are a popular manner for doctors, government agencies, and private sector corporations to discover remedies for all kinds of circumstances, such as Language Stimuli Screening in Children. Language Stimuli Screening in Children Clinical Trials and other clinical trials allow volunteers to get healthcare treatment alternatives before they are available to the general public. Most times the participants receive treatment for without cost, and occasionally they are paid for their time. Sometimes there is a cost for a Language Stimuli Screening in Children clinical trial. Human subjects often receive the most effective healthcare possible for their Language Stimuli Screening in Children condition. Risks are a reality, nonetheless, and may include more or frequent dr. calls, healthcare hazards (perhaps life-threatening), and/or the treatment being ineffective. Trials are federally governed with rigorous guidelines to protect clinical trials subjects.

Language Stimuli Screening in Children



Language Stimuli Screening in Children

For Condition: Healthy,Language Disorder
Status: Recruiting
Sponsor(s): National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) ,
Synopsis: This study will determine baseline language skills in children 4 to 8 years old. The data will be used to design studies using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to identify what areas of the brain in children are involved in understanding language. This information is important for children who require brain surgery to control seizures. Healthy normal volunteers between the ages of 4 and 8 years who have an IQ of 70 or more; who have no history of neurologic, psychiatric or language disorder; who are performing at or above grade level, and who are native English speakers may be eligible for this study. Participants will be asked to do the following: - name pictures or read words that appear on a computer screen - listen to stories and answer questions about them - match pictures to a spoken word The children's responses will be recorded.
Details: We propose to study normal children to establish baseline data to use to develop novel sets of stimuli for functional imaging paradigms. Tasks using these stimuli will include object naming, sentence comprehension, and single word reading.
