1. A Study to Evaluate Electrophysiological Measurements in Cochlear Implant Patients

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to perform electrophysiological (inner ear) measurements to assess hearing function in cochlear implant patients.

    

    

2. A Study to Develop a Vestibular and Balance Function Measure (VBFM) Tool

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is develop a tool called the Vestibular and Balance Function Measure (VBFM) to evaluate vertigo, dizziness, or balance problems that affect patients; ability to perform tasks and participate in activities.

3. A Study to Examine Proteins from Chronic Otitis Media Fluid Samples in Patients undergoing Myringotomy and Possibly a Tube Insertion Procedure

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz., Rochester, Minn.

   During myringotomy and possibly a tube insertion procedure a small amount of fluid that is being removed from the middle ear (whether or not you participate in the study) will be examined for different proteins or it may be saved and used for future research studies.

4. A Study of Factors That Predispose, Promote, and Perpetuate Post-Traumatic Dizziness

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to investigate whether recent, groundbreaking discoveries about key pathophysiologic processes that drive chronic dizziness in patients without traumatic brain injury (TBI9,10) are applicable to patients with post-mTBI vestibular disability. We expect the results of this project to have practical clinical and research applications, providing novel data for two future steps:

5. Randomized Phase II/III Trial of Adjuvant Radiation Therapy with Cisplatin, Docetaxel-Cetuximab, or Cisplatin-Atezolizumab in Pathologic High-Risk Squamous Cell Cancer of the Head and Neck

   Rochester, Minn.

   This randomized phase II/III trial studies how well radiation therapy works when given together with cisplatin compared to docetaxel or cetuximab and docetaxel after surgery in treating patients with stage III-IV squamous cell head and neck cancer. Specialized radiation therapy that delivers a high dose of radiation directly to the tumor may kill more tumor cells and cause less damage to normal tissue. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin and docetaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Monoclonal antibodies, such as cetuximab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or transmit tumor killing molecules to them. It is not yet known whether radiation therapy is more effective when given with cisplatin, docetaxel, or cetuximab and docetaxel.

6. Neurological Diseases Co-existing in Patients with Spasmotic Dsyphonia (SD)

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to investigate if spasmotic dsyphonia (SD) patients have neurological diseases like dystonia, cervical dystonia, Parkinson’s disease more than normal population

7. Cricopharyngeal Dysfunction and Esophageal Diverticulum

   Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla.

   Patients undergoing open transcervical or endoscopic approach in which a laser or stapler is used to divide the common wall between the diverticulum and esophagus, or who are not surgical candidates but agree to follow-up.

8. Epidemiologic and Psychologic Factors for Spasmotic Dsyphonia (SD)

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to investigate the epidemiologic and psychologic factors for spasmotic dsyphonia (SD).   

9. 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.

    

10. Hearing Genomics

    Rochester, Minn.

    Aims, purpose, or objectives:

    1) Develop hypotheses related to how the human genome and genetic variants affect hearing loss in children and adults.

    2) Understand phenotypes of hearing loss on a deeper level by combining and analyzing information from audiometric, genetic, and radiologic data.

    3) Explore genetic variants with an unknown significance to develop an understanding of their potential significance and explore other genes may influence an individual's hearing ability.
