1. A Study of Pyridostigmine in Postural Tachycardia Syndrome

   Rochester, Minn.

   This is a 3-day study comparing pyridostigmine versus placebo in the treatment of postural tachycardia syndrome (POTS). The researchers expect pyridostigmine to improve tachycardia and stabilize blood pressure.

2. 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:

3. A Study of Nervous System Involvement of Coccidioidomycosis at Mayo Clinic Hospital in Arizona

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The purpose of this study is to gain a better understanding of the presentation, diagnostics, disease course and treatment variations, as well as the factors that may influence features of neuro-invasive Coccidioidomycosis. 

4. A Study of Molecular Anatomic Imaging Analysis of Tau, the Primary Pathological Protein in Progressive Supranuclear Palsy

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to learn more about the distribution of the pathological protein tau in the living brains of patients with Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP).

5. A Study to Assess Neuroinflammation in Epileptic Tissue Immediately Prior to Surgical Resection Using Intraoperative Brain Microdialysis

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to measure the space and time characteristics of inflammatory mediator release in response to induced epileptiform activity in ASD-resistant patients.

6. PLS Natural History Study

   Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to develop a natural history dataset and biorepository of early Primary Lateral Sclerosis (PLS) and well-established PLS cases for future clinical trials.

7. A Study to Develop and Assess the Role of Artificial Intelligence in MR Fingerprinting of the Brain

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to develop an artificial intelligence (AI) system than can process MR images acquired using conventional acquisition schemes (spin echo, gradient echo, etc) and contrasts (T1, T2, T2*, PD) to identify the MR fingerprint of the tissue under interrogation.

8. A Study of the Thalamus Using Deep Electrode EEG to Better Understand its Participation in the Beginning or Spreading of Seizures

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to assess the thalamus area of the brain using stereotactic electroencephalography (an EEG with deep electrode placement inside the brain) to better understand its role in the starting and spreading of epileptic seizure activity.

9. A Study to Evaluate MN-166 (Ibudilast) for 12 Months Followed by an Open-label Extension for 6 Months in Patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness, safety and tolerability of MN-166 given to ALS participants for 12 months followed by a 6-month open-label extension phase.

10. A Study to Evaluate Droperidol Use in the Emergency Department and the Effect on QTc

    Rochester, Minn.

    The purpose of this study is to study the length of the QTc interval in patients receiving the standard of care dose of intravenous droperidol for headache or migraine, nausea, pain, and indications other than agitation over 30 minutes.
