Theinformation is carefully maintained so that it can be studied repeatedly in the future. The registryaims to help researchers’ access large amounts of information about people with PN. By using thisregistry, researchers will facilitate both basic and clinical research studies that will bring improvedunderstandings of the etiology (origination) and pathogenesis (development) of PN. They willspecifically ask why some patients with peripheral neuropathy develop neuropathic pain and othersdo not, and what the characteristics of patients with painful peripheral neuropathy are in terms oftheir symptoms, examination findings, and blood tests. Ultimately this research may result inimproved diagnosis, more effective treatments, and possibly prevention. Inclusion criteria: 1. Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy 2. Chemo-therapy Induced Peripheral Neuropathy 3. HIV-induced Peripheral Neuropathy 4. Idiopathic Peripheral Neuropathy; Exclusion criteria: Any other type of Peripheral Neuropathy

This database is called the Northwestern Brain Tumor Institute Database or NBTIDB, and it was developed to replace older paper methods for collecting and storing information. The purpose of this study is to allow researchers involved with the NBTIDB to use data stored in it for future research studies and projects. The NBTIDB also allows researchers to track whether or not patients have agreed to allow their information to be linked to their leftover tissue samples, which are kept in the hospital’s pathology department, for future research studies. You may be eligible to take part in the research component of the NBTIDB if you are either a new or returning patient, over the age of 18, who is being seen by one of the clinicians at the NBTI and are or will be entered into the NBTIDB, or a patient who is not coming to the NBTI for evaluation, but would still like to participate in the NBTIDB.

The objective of this study is to find out whether an advanced imaging study can distinguish people with PD, MSA, or PSP from one another. The imaging study uses a brain MRI (without dye or contrast) along with a web-based automated software tool that analyzes the MRI data automatically. The study requires two visits, one at the start and one 12-18 months later. The MRI is only performed at the first visit. At each visit, there are assessments of movement and thinking, along with several questionnaires.

A Phase 3 Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Trial With a Longitudinal Natural History Run-In and Open-Label Extension to Evaluate BIIB067 Initiated in Clinically Presymptomatic Adults With a Confirmed Superoxide Dismutase 1 MutationTofersen (also called BIIB067) is currently being evaluated for the treatment of adults with familial ALS associated with a mutation in the SOD1 gene. The optimal timing for initiation (i.e., prior to or after the emergence of clinically manifested disease) of tofersen is unknown. This study will evaluate the … Tofersen (also called BIIB067) is currently being evaluated for the treatment of adults with familial ALS associated with a mutation in the SOD1 gene. The optimal timing for initiation (i.e., prior to or after the emergence of clinically manifested disease) of tofersen is unknown. This study will evaluate the impact of initiating tofersen based on biomarker evidence of disease activity, prior to the emergence of clinical symptoms or signs that definitively indicate ALS. There are four parts to this study, each with different eligibility criteria. Please contact the study coordinator and he/she will determine whether you are eligible. In order to enroll in the study (Part A), here are a few basic (but not complete) eligibility criteria: 1. 18 years or older 2. Must have one of the following SOD1 mutations confirmed by a central reader. Please contact the study coordinator for a complete list. 3. If a SOD1 mutation is not listed, your mutation will be adjudicated by a Mutation Adjudication Committee. 4. Plasma neurofilament (NfL) level less than 44 pg/mL during Screening 5. Clinically pre-symptomatic for ALS (i.e., must not have clinically manifested ALS) at Part A Screening Visit 6. History or positive test result at Screening for HIV, Hep-B, or Hep-C
