Studies which are Now Recruiting

The Geriatric Health Services Research Lab is conducting a research study to explore how the Riding in the Moment horseback riding program can be adapted to include adults with Down syndrome.

This study is testing whether a medicine called abrocitinib can help people 12 years and older with Down syndrome treat alopecia areata (hairloss) and symptoms of atopic dermatitis (eczema).

The team is interested in studying the early development of language and motor skills in children with and without Down Syndrome.

The goal of this study is to understand the development of challenging behaviors in children with Down syndrome. Caregivers will complete questionnaires about their child. Children will take part in an in-person EEG and problem-solving task visit.

This research study is investigating how six months of oxygen treatment while sleeping affects individuals 5 to 17 years old with Down syndrome. The study will look at sleep, breathing, heart function, quality of life, and whether the treatment if it makes them feel better. The team also wants to see if the oxygen helps decrease the severity of participants' obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
