1. A Registry of Biospecimens for Patients with Central Nervous Systems Inflammatory Disease

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of the study is to learn more about inflammatory diseases of the central nervous system (CNS) by collecting patient information, blood sample (which contain a person’s genes, DNA) and other available tissue samples.

2. 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.

3. Resting State Connectivity in Adolescents with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome and Chronic Pain

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purposes of this study are to compare the functional connectivity in adolescent patients with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) both with and without chronic pain, to those with chronic pain alone, to that of healthy controls; to evaluate whether there is a change in functional connectivity following participation in an intensive rehabilitation-oriented program previously demonstrated to have excellent outcomes with regard to functional recovery and symptom control; and to correlate outcomes using standardized symptom and function rating scales to imaging findings.

4. 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.

5. Sex-Specific Effects Of Endocrine Disruption On Aging And Alzheimer's Disease

   Jacksonville, Fla., Rochester, Minn.

   The researchers are trying to determine whether ovarian hormones are associated with aging processes and with the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease in women.

6. 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).

7. 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.

    

8. Evaluating Optic Nerve Disease with OCT Angiography

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to determine if optical coherence tomography (OCT) angiography is able to distinguish different causes of optic neuropathy.

9. Antineuronal Antibody Positivity Prevalence And Predictors In Epilepsy With Different Risks Of Autoimmune Epilepsy

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to determine the prevalence, diagnostic accuracy and predictors of antinueronal antibody positivity in serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of patients iwth focal epilepsy of unknown cause (high) compared to patients with epilepsy of known cause (intermediate) and idiopathic genetic generallized epilepsy (low).  

10. Feasibility Of Intraoperative Microdialysis During Neurosurgery For Central Nervous System Malignancies

    Rochester, Minn.

    This clinical trial evaluates the use of microdialysis catheters during surgery to collect biomarkers, and studies the feasibility of intraoperative microdialysis during neurosurgery for central nervous system malignancies. A biomarker is a measurable indicator of the severity or presence of disease state. Information collected in this study may help doctors to develop new strategies to better diagnose, monitor, and treat brain tumors.
