Vestibular ASsessment In Children - Balance Function in Normal Children and Specific Risk Groups (VASIC)
The goal of this prospective cohort study is to investigate the vestibular function in children suspected of balance disorders, and to follow up on their balance progressions after rehabilitation. The main hypothesis of the study is that delayed gross motor development and symptoms of dizziness and balance problems in some children are caused by vestibular dysfunction. The investigators expect that early detection and rehabilitation by a physiotherapist will improve the balance ability for the child. The participants will be children in the age of 6 months to 10 years with delayed gross motor development and/or with dizziness/balance problems. The test protocol consists of questionnaires, hearing screening and vestibular and postural assessments.
Prospective Pilot Trial to Address the Feasibility and Safety of Treatment With Oral Zinc in GNAO1 Associated Disorders
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate feasibility and safety of an oral therapy with zinc in patients affected by Guanine nucleotide-binding protein G(o) subunit alpha (GNAO1) associated disorders. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is a daily oral therapy with zinc in GNAO1 associated disorders a safe and feasible therapy? Are there potential changes in general motor skills, general behaviour and well being, day/night rhythm, level of dyskinesia and dystonia, frequency of seizures, quality of life and changes in the microbiome of the patients. Participants with GNAO1 associated disorders will be given an oral zinc therapy for 6 month and will be assessed in 3 visits and 2 phone calls within this trial.
A Prospective, Longitudinal and Observational Natural History Study for Children and Adults With Baker Gordon Syndrome - Genetic Autism Alliance
The goal of this study is to conduct a prospective, longitudinal assessment of the natural clinical progression of children and adults with Synaptotagmin1-Associated Neurodevelopmental Disorder also known as Baker Gordon Syndrome (BAGOS). This will be performed by acquiring baseline measurements and developing effective outcome measures and diagnostic tools for the disorder, to prepare the healthcare system for future clinical trials.
