Research

Mayo Clinic researchers study craniosynostosis and other neurological conditions. Much progress has been made in understanding the genetic causes of syndromic craniosynostosis. But the cause of most nonsyndromic craniosynostosis still is not known.

Other research at Mayo Clinic involves the use of MRI scans rather than CT scans for diagnosis and treatment of craniosynostosis. Other research also involves ways to lower the need for blood transfusion during surgery. Researchers also are developing artificial intelligence methods of detecting craniosynostosis.

Research: It's all about patients

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Joseph Sirven, M.D., Professor of Neurology, Mayo Clinic: Mayo's mission is about the patient. 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.
