Summary

This trial will study 10 common neurological disorders at NorthShore University HealthSystem using electronic medical records (EMR). They aim to show that assigning treatments based on specific subgroups, obtaining electronic consent

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals with neurological conditions like brain tumors, epilepsy, migraine, cognitive impairments due to mild injury or concussion, multiple sclerosis (MS), neuropathy, Parkinson's disease, restless legs syndrome and stroke. Participants must be eligible for the treatments being tested as per FDA approval or standard off-label use.
What is being tested?
The study at NorthShore University HealthSystem is testing up to three drugs for each of ten common neurological disorders using electronic medical records (EMR). It aims to find the most effective treatments through adaptive assignment and capture outcomes data directly during patient care.
What are the potential side effects?
Side effects will vary based on the specific medications used for each disorder but may include typical drug reactions such as nausea, dizziness, allergic responses, fatigue or more serious complications depending on individual health factors.

Trial Design

3Treatment groups
Active Control
Group I: Treatment B (see interventions description)Active Control1 Intervention
The investigators will conduct 11 pragmatic trials using the EMR: brain tumors (prevent seizures), epilepsy (prevent other seizure types), mild cognitive impairment (improve memory), migraine (prevention), migraine (abortive), mild traumatic brain injury (prevent post concussion syndrome), multiple sclerosis (attenuate relapses), neuropathy (pain management), Parkinson's (treat motor symptoms), restless legs syndrome (treat sensory symptoms), stroke (secondary prevention). For each trial they will compare up to three medications or treatments either FDA approved for the indication, or commonly employed. The pragmatic trials will be small and primarily to demonstrate the feasibility of subgroup based adaptive assignment of treatments, electronic consenting, and data capture at the point of care using the EMR. The focus is on the development of the study design and methodology and not on the treatments per se.
Group II: Treatment A (see interventions description)Active Control1 Intervention
The investigators will conduct 11 pragmatic trials using the EMR: brain tumors (prevent seizures), epilepsy (prevent other seizure types), mild cognitive impairment (improve memory), migraine (prevention), migraine (abortive), mild traumatic brain injury (prevent post concussion syndrome), multiple sclerosis (attenuate relapses), neuropathy (pain management), Parkinson's (treat motor symptoms), restless legs syndrome (treat sensory symptoms), stroke (secondary prevention). For each trial they will compare up to three medications or treatments either FDA approved for the indication, or commonly employed. The pragmatic trials will be small and primarily to demonstrate the feasibility of subgroup based adaptive assignment of treatments, electronic consenting, and data capture at the point of care using the EMR.

Group III: Treatment C (see interventions description)Active Control1 Intervention
The investigators will conduct 11 pragmatic trials using the EMR: brain tumors (prevent seizures), epilepsy (prevent other seizure types), mild cognitive impairment (improve memory), migraine (prevention), migraine (abortive), mild traumatic brain injury (prevent post concussion syndrome), multiple sclerosis (attenuate relapses), neuropathy (pain management), Parkinson's (treat motor symptoms), restless legs syndrome (treat sensory symptoms), stroke (secondary prevention).
