Below are current clinical trials.

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

1. Spinal Cord Injury Physical Activity Guidelines in Association with Health-Related and Psychosocial Outcomes

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to determine whether meeting the physical activity guidelines for cardiometabolic health is associated with positive health-related outcomes.

   Additionally to determine whether meeting the physical activity guidelines for cardiometabolic health is associated with positive psychosocial outcomes, and determine whether meeting the physical activity guidelines for cardiometabolic health is associated with greater social and occupational integration.  

2. Vivistim Registry For Paired VNS Therapy (GRASP)

   Rochester, Minn., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The purpose of the Vivistim Registry for Paired VNS Therapy (GRASP) is to gather real-world information on patients with arm and hand deficits post-stroke who are considering Vivistim System treatment. Before and after Vivistim System implant, patient data will be collected and reported throughout the therapy process. 

3. A Study to Evaluate Physical Therapy in the Emergency Department

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to determine the utility of physical therapy services in the Emergency Department through a prospective satisfaction survey of both providers and patients with physical therapy provided in the emergency department.

4. A Study to Survey Epidural User Experience for Individuals with Spinal Cord Injury Paralysis

   Rochester, Minn.

   This is a survey study to identify user-reported motor, sensory, and autonomic functions that are enabled by epidural stimulation, establish correlations between epidural stimulation usage, rehabilitation, functional gains, and user experience in the laboratory and community settings, and to understand and identify subjective goals, benefits, and barriers that still exist with implanted epidural stimulator community.

5. Preserved Autonomic Function Following Spinal Cord Injury

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to characterize gradients of dysfunction in the autonomic nervous system after spinal cord injury.  

6. Spinal Cord Injury Model Systems For Minnesota Region (SCIMS)

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to contribute to the Spinal Cord Injury Model Systems (SCIMS) national database through longitudinal assessment of long-term health and psychosocial outcomes after acquired spinal cord injury (SCI). 

    

    

7. 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.

8. A Study to Evaluate the Effects of Physical Therapy on Patients Treated with Surgery (Periacetabular Osteotomy or PAO) for Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH)

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to assess perioperative and postoperative outcomes to date in patients treated with surgery (Periacetabular Osteotomy or PAO) for Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH) receiving formal postoperative physical therapy versus those patients who did not receive formal postoperative physical therapy.

9. A Study to Evaluate Meniscal Extrusion with and without Medial Knee Unloader Bracing Using Ultrasound

   Minneapolis, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to quantify medial meniscal extrusion with and without a medial knee unloader brace using ultrasonography in patients with isolated medial knee pain.

10. Analysis of Spinal Cord Stimulation Usage Over a 15-Year Period

    Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz., Rochester, Minn.

    The purpose of this study is to determine the rate at which patients who underwent Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) trial ultimately progressed to SCS implantation, determine the percentage of patients who continued using their SCS system after 5 years, as well as identify patient characteristics that lead to SCS discontinuation.
