1. A Study to Evaluate Biomarker Target Stimulation

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to understand how electrical stimulation of the brain can modulate and suppress interictal epileptiform activity as a step on the path to developing new therapies for epilepsy.

2. A Registry of Biospecimens for Patients with Central Nervous Systems Inflammatory Disease

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of the study is to learn more about inflammatory diseases of the central nervous system (CNS) by collecting patient information, blood sample (which contain a person’s genes, DNA) and other available tissue samples.

3. A Study to Assess Biomarkers of Cerebral Cavernous Angioma with Symptomatic Hemorrhage (CASH)

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to develop prognostic and diagnostic blood tests for symptomatic brain hemorrhage in patients diagnosed with cavernous angiomas, a critical clinical challenge in a disease affecting more than a million Americans. We further examine whether blood biomarkers can replace or enhance the accuracy of advanced imaging in association with lesional bleeding. The project tests a novel integrational approach of biomarker development in a mechanistically defined cerebrovascular disease, with a clinically relevant context of use.

4. Magnetic Resonance Elastography of Traumatic Brain Injury

   Rochester, Minn.

   This purpose of this pilot study is to determine if there are changes in mild TBI detectible with MRE. This is the first time this novel technology has been applied to mild TBI and the anticipated results are theoretical.

5. Evaluating Optic Nerve Disease with OCT Angiography

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to determine if optical coherence tomography (OCT) angiography is able to distinguish different causes of optic neuropathy.

6. Left Atrial Appendage Exclusion for Prophylactic Stroke Reduction Trial

   Rochester, Minn.

   The objective of this trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of left atrial appendage exclusion (LAAE) for the prevention of ischemic stroke or systemic arterial embolism in subjects undergoing cardiac surgery who have risk factors for atrial fibrillation and ischemic stroke.

7. Antineuronal Antibody Positivity Prevalence and Predictors in Epilepsy With Different Risks of Autoimmune Epilepsy

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to determine the prevalence, diagnostic accuracy and predictors of antinueronal antibody positivity in serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of patients iwth focal epilepsy of unknown cause (high) compared to patients with epilepsy of known cause (intermediate) and idiopathic genetic generallized epilepsy (low).  

8. A Study to Evaluate Sleep for Stroke Management and Recovery

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to determine whether treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) with positive airway pressure starting shortly after acute ischemic stroke or high risk TIA (1) reduces recurrent stroke, acute coronary syndrome, and all-cause mortality 6 months after the event, and (2) improves stroke outcomes at 3 months in patients who experienced an ischemic stroke.

9. A study to create and analyze a comprehensive longitudinal resource using testing results from those with genetic risk of Alzheimer's disease

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   This study aims to establish, use, and extensively share a comprehensive longitudinal resource of genetic, non-genetic, and cognitive data, brain imaging and fluid biomarker measurements of amyloid-β (Aβ), tau pathophysiology, neurodegeneration, and inflammation (“A,T,N,I”), and biological samples to advance the study of cognitively unimpaired older adults at six levels of genetic risk for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) due to their apolipoprotein E (APOE) genotype, including understudied APOE2 and APOE4 homozygotes (HMs) at the lowest and highest risk and those APOE4 HMs and heterozygotes (HTs) who remain unimpaired at older ages due to unknown protective factors and spared pathophysiological effects despite their genetic risk.

10. A Study to Evaluate the Use of a Smartphone App for Stroke Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea

    Rochester, Minn.

    The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of a smartphone app for stroke patients with obstructive sleep apnea in order to better use their positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy.
