Below are current clinical trials.

Filter this list of studies by location, status and more.

1. Mayo Clinic Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) Rehabilitation Research Registry

   Rochester, Minn.

   This will be a prospective registry conducted and maintained at Mayo Clinic Rochester from which collaborating sites within Mayo, Mayo Health Systems, and other spinal cord injury centers can draw from in order to fulfill research enrollment. The information collected for this registry will be used for recruitment purposes only, and will not be used as research data. Participants who are recruited to participate in other research studies will need to complete a separate consenting/enrollment process specific to that study.

    

2. Investigation of Neurocognitive Measures of Sport-Related Injury

   Rochester, Minn.

   The overall objective is to provide an onsite diagnosis with subsequent return to play criteria, as well as, lower the risk of traumatic brain injury by primary prevention through cervical spine neuromuscular control and vision training. The central hypothesis is that improved understanding of neurocognitive measures and function will provide improved diagnosis of concussion and help reduce the incidence of subsequent sports-related injury.

3. To Assess the Effectiveness, Safety, and Tolerability of INCB000928 in Participants With Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness, safety, tolerability, and PK of INCB000928 over a 24-week treatment period followed by a 52-week, open-label extension period.

4. A Study to Develop a Biorepository of Blood Samples from Cancer Patients Participating in the Gemini (IRB 19-006717) Protocol

   Jacksonville, Fla., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The purpose of this study is to develop a biorepository of blood samples  from cancer patients participating in the Gemini (IRB 19-006717) protocol. These samples will be used for future biomarker discovery and other translational studies. 

5. Minnesota Spinal Cord Injury Data Network

   Rochester, Minn.

   This is a study to generate feasibilty data regarding the collection of health and psychosocial outcomes after acquired spinal cord injury (SCI)

6. Epidural and Dorsal Root Stimulation in Humans with Spinal Cord Injury

   Rochester, Minn.

   A study to compare electrophysiologic activity of epidural stimulation and dorsal root ganglion stimulation, as well as quantify changes in motor performance with both types of stimulation over the course of 10 rehabilitation sessions.

7. A Study to Evaluate Analgesic Use and Duration for Pediatric Long Bone Fractures

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to develop an evidenced-based guideline for pediatric opioid prescribing guideline from the emergency department for long bone fractures to more closely tailor pain management to abuse potential. 

8. A Study of Simulated Sylvian Fissure Dissection Under Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Conditions Using a Rodent Microvascular Anastomosis Model

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to assess the differences in microvascular anastomosis outcomes between the experiment aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH)-like conditions and control animals.

9. A Study to Evaluate a New Predictive Model for the Progression of Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to characterize the risk of scoliosis progression based on local three-dimensional vertebral and pelvic measurements present on initial evaluation. The proposed new study aims at refining and testing the external validity of this model in a larger cohort. The next step towards using the new model in the clinical setting is to redesign the model and to externally validate the model by measuring the agreement between the new method and the traditional Cobb angle at maturity in a larger multicenter study.  The ultimate goal of this research project will be to validate this new predictive model and finally transfer this new predictive tool in the hands of clinicians treating AIS.

    

10. A Study to Assess Wound Closure Techniques in Primary Spine Surgery Using SPY Intra-operative Angiography

    Rochester, Minn.

    The purpose of this study is to assess wound perfusion at the site of closure in primary spine surgery between running subcuticular suture, interrupted vertical mattress suture, and staple closure techniques.
