Research

Experts at Mayo Clinic take part in research to find the causes of pediatric neurological disorders, including spina bifida. They also conduct research to help develop new and improved treatments. This includes studies on the development of children with spina bifida who had surgery before they were born compared with those who had surgery after birth.

Experts who specialize in physical medicine and rehabilitation, including pediatric rehabilitation, focus their research on making it possible for people with disabilities to take part in daily activities. Studies are ongoing to investigate a means of measuring kicking and leg movement in infants with spina bifida to help design novel interventions.

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.
