NIH-funded research (9)

Early-stage science funded by the US National Institutes of Health. Most of these projects don't enroll patients, but they show what is being worked on.

• Surgical strategies to prevent and reduce amputation pain

  This project tests how two nerve-sparing techniques can prevent or lessen phantom and residual limb pain in people who have or will have amputations, especially veterans.

• Targeted muscle reinnervation to reduce pain after amputation

  This project looks at how targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR) changes nerve signals and inflammation to help reduce phantom and residual limb pain for amputees.

• Brain pain map guides smarter neuromodulation for chronic pain

  A study in veterans aims to map where pain relief comes from in the brain during neuromodulation to improve how spinal cord and dorsal root stimulation work for chronic back and leg pain.

• How traumatic brain injury may change opioid addiction risk

  Researchers are looking at whether people who have had a traumatic brain injury respond differently to opioids and face higher risk of opioid addiction.

• Understanding heart and brain health after traumatic brain injury in veterans

  This study is looking at how traumatic brain injuries affect the heart and brain in veterans, especially how these injuries might relate to feelings of fear and anxiety, to help us understand their long-term health effects and improve treatments.

  NIH research Clement J. Zablocki VA Medical Center · Milwaukee, United States · NIH-11109493

• Genetic mutations causing a type of arthritis linked to calcium crystals

  This study is looking at how certain genetic changes might cause calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease, a type of arthritis that affects older adults and veterans, with the goal of finding new ways to treat this condition.

• Restoring breathing after spinal cord injury

  This study is looking at a new way to help people with chronic neck injuries breathe better by using special techniques to boost the signals between their brain and spinal cord.

  NIH research Clement J. Zablocki VA Medical Center · Milwaukee, United States · NIH-11098431

• Understanding how traumatic brain injury and opioids affect addiction risks

  This study is looking at how a traumatic brain injury might increase the chances of developing problems with opioid use, using animal models to understand the connection better, and it could help us learn more about why some people struggle with addiction after a brain injury.

  NIH research Clement J. Zablocki VA Medical Center · Milwaukee, United States · NIH-10993872

• Understanding how certain proteins affect damage after spinal cord injuries

  This study is looking at how a protein called IL-12 might make things worse after a spinal cord injury by causing inflammation and damage, and it hopes to find ways to help improve treatment for people with these injuries.
