Overdose deaths involving methamphetamine nearly tripled from 2015 to 2019 among people ages 18-64 in the U.S., according to a NIDA study published in JAMA Psychiatry.

Children with hemiparetic cerebral palsy, a movement disorder that affects use of one side of the body, showed improved use of the arm and hand after receiving a high dose of Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy (CIMT) in a recent clinical trial.

Researchers found that intensive therapy, added to standard rehabilitation, produces the greatest improvement when administered 2-3 months after a stroke.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) and other injuries to blood vessels in the brain, like stroke, are a leading cause of long-term disability or death. NINDS researchers have found a possible explanation for why some patients recover much more poorly from brain injury if they later become infected.

Researchers from NCI identified three subtypes of lung cancers in people who never smoked. The results could help guide more precise lung cancer treatments.

A handheld screening device that detects subtle misalignment of the eyes accurately identifies children with amblyopia (lazy eye).

The opioid overdose death rate was significantly higher for non-Hispanic Black individuals in four U.S. states from 2018 to 2019, while the rates for other race and ethnicity groups held steady or decreased. These findings appeared in a new NIH study.

Equipped with a color 3-D camera, an inertial measurement sensor and its own onboard computer, a newly improved robotic cane could offer blind and visually impaired users a new way to navigate indoors.

A new study lays the groundwork for potential new therapies for progressive multiple sclerosis. Chronic lesions with inflamed rims, or “smoldering” plaques, in the brains of people with MS have been linked to more aggressive and disabling forms of the disease.
