NIH-funded research (12)
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.
-
Shockwave therapy to help reduce spasticity after spinal cord injury
A randomized, sham-controlled trial will test whether extracorporeal shockwave therapy can lessen muscle tightness in people with spinal cord injuries.
-
Aerobic exercise plus targeted speech exercises to improve reading after stroke
Short bouts of aerobic exercise done before focused speech-based reading work may help people with post-stroke aphasia read more accurately and regain independence.
-
KF Modified Story Memory Technique to improve new learning and memory in mild cognitive impairment
This project sees if a 10-session KF-mSMT memory-training program helps older adults with mild cognitive impairment learn and remember new information.
-
Improving Reading After Stroke with Brain Training and Imagery
This project explores whether using brain imaging feedback and mental exercises can help stroke survivors improve their reading abilities.
-
Improving movement and bladder control in people with spinal cord injuries
This study is exploring how new techniques can help people with spinal cord injuries move better and manage their bladder more effectively by using special stimulation on the spinal cord, and it will involve working with participants to test these exciting new methods.
-
Understanding how gaze and head movement affect reading errors in stroke survivors
This study is looking at how people who have had a stroke and struggle with reading, especially those who miss words on the left side, use their eyes and head while reading, to better understand why these mistakes happen and how the brain is involved.
-
Improving reading skills in stroke survivors with aphasia through exercise and targeted treatment
This study is looking at how doing aerobic exercise along with a special reading program can help stroke survivors with aphasia improve their reading skills, making it easier for them to get back to their daily activities.
-
Understanding how brain injuries affect learning and depression.
This study is looking at how a traumatic brain injury affects learning in people who also have depression, and it uses brain scans to see how their brains respond to immediate versus delayed feedback during learning tasks, with the goal of finding better ways to help them recover.
-
Improving reading skills in stroke survivors using brain feedback techniques
This study is exploring new ways to help stroke survivors improve their reading skills using a special brain training technique that shows them how to control their brain activity while they practice, making it easier for them to regain their reading abilities.
-
Improving learning and memory in people with Multiple Sclerosis
This study is testing a special program to help people with Multiple Sclerosis improve their learning and memory skills through fun strategies, and it’s designed to see if these techniques can really make a difference in their daily lives.
-
Using robot-assisted walking therapy to improve recovery after a stroke
This study is looking at whether using robot-assisted walking therapy right after a stroke can help patients recover better and faster compared to regular care, so if you’ve had a stroke, you might be able to join and see if this new approach works for you!
-
A new tool to assess social communication skills for young adults with autism in the workplace
This study is looking at how young adults with autism can improve their job skills, especially in communicating politely at work, by testing a new tool that simulates real workplace situations.
