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

1. A Study to Explore Ghrelin Levels with Primary Graft Dysfunction in Lung Transplant Recipients

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to investigate ghrelin, a peptide that mechanistically carries the promise of therapeutics benefit for diverse aspects of morbidity associated with lung transplantation.

2. 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.

    

3. A Study to Analyze Gender Congruence After Gender Confirmation Surgery

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to assess the success and effectiveness of gender confirmation surgeries on eliminating gender incongruence and improving life satisfaction, and compare patient’s status with the preoperative results.

4. Outcomes of Open and Endovascular Repair for Ruptured and Non-Ruptured Internal Iliac Artery Aneurysms

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate different techniques to repair internal iliac artery aneurysms. Report short and long term clinical outcomes with markers of pelvic perfustion.  Compare partial pelvic perfusion preservation with bilateral complete preservation.

5. 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.

6. A Study Of Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS) With Mobility Training For Gait Recovery After Chronic Ischemic Stroke

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, feasibility, and efficacy of vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) paired with mobility training to improve lower extremity function and gait in individuals with chronic ischemic stroke.

7. A Study to Evaluate the Feasibility of Intraoperative Microdialysis (tissue sampling) during Neurosurgery for Central Nervous System Malignancies

   Rochester, Minn.

   Intraoperative Microdialysis During Neurosurgery for Central Nervous System Malignancies

8. A Study Of Acute Stimulation For The Modulation Of Epileptic Events With A Closed-Loop Brain Interchange System In Drug Resistant Epilepsy

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to investigate the feasibility of detecting and modulating pathological high-frequency oscillations (HFOs) generated by the seizure onset zone (SOZ) of drug-resistant epilepsy patients using CorTec's Brain Interchange Evaluation Kit (manual provided as supplementary material).

9. Brachial plexus patients undergoing upper limb amputation

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to follow Mayo Clinic patients with severe brachial plexus injuries who underwent upper limb amputation. 

10. A Study to Evaluate a Virtual Assistant for Plastic Surgery Patients

    Jacksonville, Fla.

    The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of a recently developed artificial intelligence virtual assistant (AIVA) on plastic surgery patients and providers’ experience and leverage the use of new technologies to promote high-quality service and meaningful relationships between plastic surgeons and patients.
