Clinical trials Below are current clinical trials.7 studies in Cerebrospinal Fluid Dynamics Clinic in Florida (open studies only). Filter this list of studies by location, status and more. Ommaya Placement For Biomarker Collection Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and feasibility of intra-operative Ommaya Reservoir placement during a clinically indicated tumor surgery in order to facilitate a longitudinal access to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) for analysis of exploratory and future tumor biomarkers for individualized monitoring. Cerebrospinal Fluid Biomarkers For Brain Tumors Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to help generate a repository of Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) samples relevant to neuro-oncology research that may facilitate the identification of biomarkers that are predictive of disease burden, therapeutic susceptibility or response to therapy. This protocol will also provide a vehicle for CSF access for patients or providers wishing to generate or evaluate individualized biomarkers as part of other research or individualized therapy protocols. A Study to Assess Sinus Stenting to Manage Cerebrospinal Fluid Leak Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to determine whether transverse/sigmoid sinus junction stenting reduces the risk of recurrent cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak in patients with idiopathic intracranial hypertension presenting with CSF leak. Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) Biomarkers for Prediction of Dementia Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla. To further investigate biomarkers in CSF as possible predictors for mild cognitive impairment and dementia Collection of Discarded Cerebrospinal Fluid for Research Purposes Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to collect and store cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)from patients with normal CSF. This stored CSF will be used in the future as a culture media to better understand how therapeutic cells delivered into the CSF will behave. A Study to Evaluate MR of CSF Dynamics Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to evaluate changes in CSF dynamics (e.g., velocity, flow rate) between patients with normal pressure hydrocephalus and healthy controls, as well as patients with other dementia disorders. Cerebral Spinal Fluid Evaluation in Individuals Who Have Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (INPH) Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to further characterize the serum and Cerebral Spinal Fluid (CSF) biomarker profile of idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus, both before and after VP shunt placement, and help differentiate this profile from Alzheimer’s disease.

The patient comes first. So the mission and research here is to advance how we can best help the patient, how to make sure the patient comes first in care. So in many ways, it's a cycle. It can start with as simple as an idea worked on in a laboratory, brought to the patient bedside, and if everything goes right — and let's say it's helpful or beneficial — then brought on as a standard approach. And I think that is one of the unique characteristics of Mayo's approach to research — that patient-centeredness — that really helps to put it in its own spotlight.
