The Exablate Model 4000 Type-1.0/1.1 Neuro system involves using an advanced, non-invasive technique currently approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat one side of your brain in a procedure called a thalamotomy (lesion the thalamus). This procedure involves performing an ablation (lesion) of an area of the …
The objective of this study is to obtain neural recordings from deep brain structures while performing simple intraoperative tasks in order to improve the understanding of temporal relationship of deep neural signals and the performance of simple psychomotor, cognitive, and/or executive tasks. The standard DBS surgery provides an opportunity to …
Objective:To conduct electrophysiological experiments in human patients undergoing awake brain surgery with the aim of elucidating how the various brain regions coordinate their activity during naturalistic movements.Evaluate the effectiveness of various electrode arrays for recording of cortical activity.How the brain coordinates body movements and processes sensations such as touch.How the …
The goal of this study is to improve the reliability of acquiring open-set speech recognition following ABI placement for retrocochlear deafness, to evaluate whether state of consciousness influences speech-based ABR. The researchers hypothesize that: 1) It will be possible to elicit speech-based ABR from surgically anesthetized patients. 2) Surgically anesthetized …
This is an early feasibility study looking at the safety, feasibility, and potential benefit of a medical device, called the NeuroPace RNS System, for people suffering from obesity, with uncontrolled eating habits.
The purpose of this study is to gain a better understanding of how signals in the brain contribute to abnormal sleep behavior in patients with Parkinson's Disease (PD).
The primary hypothesis of this study is that the combination of tocilizumab, atezolizumab , and FSRT will lead to a robust anti-tumor immune response in GBM. This hypothesis is based on strong preclinical data, which has demonstrated (1) critical roles for IL-6 in GBM immune evasion, (2) that targeting IL-6 …
Primary Objective: To determine if CONDUIT and PEEK +rhBMP-2 cages produce similar clinical and radiographic outcomes in patients undergoing direct lateral Interbody fusion Secondary Objective: To determine if CONDUIT and PEEK + rhBMP-2 cages are comparable with regards to cost The primary study endpoint will be the difference in fusion …
Medtronic DBS Therapy for Dystonia delivers electrical stimulation to areas of your brain to help control symptoms of various movement disorders. N/A N/A
To determine the activity of a SMO inhibitor in patients with meningiomas harboring SMO and PTCH1 mutations as measured by 6-month PFS and response rate.
