One percent of the population has treatment-resistant tinnitus, which can cause significant problems in daily living, such psychological distress, insomnia, etc. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation of the brain hearing area may reset sensory perception and reduce tinnitus.

We hope to better understand gene expression patterns via examination of epigenetic modifications in blood born cells.  Identifying genotype-phenotype correlations could lead to discovery of biomarkers that predict recovery after stroke.

We here aim to examine whether the use of a dietary intervention, the Modified Atkins Diet, can  improve motor recovery in stroke survivors.

The goal of this work is to enhance and better understand motor recovery after stroke, and to develop new treatments that maximize this recovery.                            

The objective of the registry is to determine the prevalence of pseudobulbar
affect (PBA) in patients with certain underlying neurologic conditions: Alzheimer’s Disease
(AD), Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Parkinson’s Disease (PD),
Stroke (STR), and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI).

A study of the possible effect of subthreshold neuromuscular stimulation of the neck muscles on lateropulsion ("pusher syndrome" following stroke.

A study about the interaction of scapular movements during reaching, weight shift, and kinesiotape application of individuals with chronic stroke and healthy controls.

The purpose of this study is to better understand the variance in measures of corticospinal tract integrity and excitability in different populations.  

A prospective, observational study of the factors that influence recovery during in-patient rehabilitation of individuals who have unilateral total knee arthroplasty.

A study of possible changes in brain activity, as measured by transcranial magnetic stimulation, following the use of transcranial direct current stimulation in patients with lateropulsion ("pusher syndrome") following stroke.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the mechanisms of the motor recovery in patients with chronic loss of function in the upper-limb after SCI, and to characterize the neurophysiological profile of patients and specific muscles that respond to robotic motor training by using Non-invasive brain stimulation, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS). 

This study is investigating whether intensive neurorehabilitative training and treatment with armodafinil can improve upper and lower motor coordination and strength. This study is investigating whether intensive neurorehabilitative training and treatment with armodafinil can improve upper and lower motor coordination and strength.

Observational study of patients with severe brain injury from stroke or TBI who are not fully conscious to determine the underlying mechanisms of recovery of consciousness and if patients have residual levels of consciousness not detected on behavioral exam. Uses behavioral testing, EEG, MRI and PET brain imaging. All studies performed at NYP-Cornell Medical Center.

This study is attempting to prevent recurrent stroke, heart attack, and diabetes by controlling insulin resistance after stroke.
