Below are current clinical trials.

Filter this list of studies by location, status and more.

1. A Study to Evaluate Outcomes of Pectoralis Minor and Brachial Plexus Release

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to to assess the clinical and radiographic outcomes of patients who have undergone shoulder arthroplasty.

2. Adult Spinal Deformity Surgery Real-World Functional Activity

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to measure objective functional activity and gait and trunk stability in spinal deformity patients utilizing motion analysis testing and accelerometers. This will provide real-world data and evidence in optimizing care for spinal deformity patients.

3. Human Nucleus Accumbens and Associated Brain Networks Using 7T MR Imaging

   Rochester, Minn.

   The objective of this study is to utilize ultra-high-field MR neuroimaging to elucidate the structural and functional anatomy of the human nucleus accumbens and associated brain structures in healthy volunteers and in subjects with substance use disorder.

    

4. A Study to Evaluate Vascularized Lymph Node Transfer Coverage

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to investigate outcomes for all patients with upper or lower extremity lymphedema with lymph node transfer in a two stage procedure involving dermal regeneration followed by split thickness skin graft (STSG) and compared to patients only receiving STSG for wound coverage.

    

5. Early Outcomes of Volar Capsulodesis for the Treatment of Scapholunate Ligament Injury

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to:

   1. To provide a comprehensive review of Mayo Clinic’s experience with volar SLIL capsulodesis
   2. Investigate the relationships between patient risk factors and clinical variables with functional outcomes and patient satisfaction
   3. Determine rates of complication, revision surgeries and salvage for failure

6. A Study to Evaluate Whether or Not Pelvic Peritonectomy Improves Quality of Life for Patients Regardless of Endometriosis Pathology?

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The purpose of this study is to investigate if complete pelvic peritonectomy is associated with improved quality of life in patients with chronic pelvic pain without histologic diagnosis of endometriosis as compared to patients with histologic diagnosis of endometriosis. 

7. A Study of Intravital Microscopy (IVM) in Human Solid Tumors

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility of performing HIVM in patients with deep space solid tumors during standard course of surgical resection.

8. Optimizing Rehabilitation Effect with Electrical Stimulation Therapy Rehab

   Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the dentate nucleus area for improving functional status in patients with moderate to severe residual upper-extremity motor impairment due to stroke.

    

    

9. Cerebrovascular Diseases Prospective Registry

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is for genetic analysis of specimens removed during cerebrovascular neurosurgery to better understand pathophysiology of cerebrovascular pathology. 

    

    

10. Pafolacianine for Localization of Pediatric Extracranial Solid Tumors

    Rochester, Minn.

    The purpose of this study is to determine the utility of NIR fluorescent imaging using the molecular imaging agent CYTALUX for identifying lesions in children and adolescent patients with primary or metastatic solid tumors.
