Research for Healthy Adults

We are doing this study to find out if giving a drug called Exparel (the study drug) as a spinal injection is a safe and effective option for pain management. The study drug is approved to treat pain after surgery and is injected into the surrounding area where the surgery was done. We want to know if the study drug can also be given as an intrathecal (into the space surrounding the spine) injection to help control pain.

Brain, Spinal Cord and Nerves

We are doing this study to learn more about Alzheimer's disease and other illnesses of aging (e.g., dementia, mild cognitive impairment [MCI], or other cognition disorders).

Compensation: Yes
Ages: 25-80

Lungs and Breathing

We are doing this study to find out if L-citrulline (the study drug) will help improve asthma symptoms when taken daily. This study is important because managing symptoms of asthma can improve quality of life and long-term health.

Eyes and Vision

We are doing this study to find out if pictures taken of the back of the eye (retina) using a special type of camera called Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) can predict how well a baby will be able to see and how their brain works at school age.

El propósito de este estudio es determinar si las fotos tomadas del fondo de ojo (retina) usando una cámara especial que se llama Tomografía de coherencia Óptica (OCT), puede predecir la visión y como el cerebro funciona a la edad escolar.

Compensation: Yes

Brain, Spinal Cord and Nerves

We created this healthy volunteer registry for people who would like to participate in brain imaging research studies. These studies use structural and functional MRI data to study areas of the brain associated with movement, memory, attention, and perception.

Compensation: Yes
Ages: 18-80
Non-Oncology

Women's Health

We created this registry to have database of people who are interested in participating in research about chronic pain.

Compensation: No
Ages: 18-110
Non-Oncology

Brain, Spinal Cord and Nerves

We are doing this study to learn more about how right hemisphere brain damage (RHD) from a stroke can affect people's ability to communicate. We want to improve treatments to help stroke survivors regain their ability to communicate.

Research for Healthy Adults

We are doing this study to find out if a new method to train the breathing muscles is effective. We want to know if this training can improve how well people can move and exercise underwater while connected to oxygen (i.e., while diving).

Specifically, we want to test whether or not these methods can increase personal endurance and reduce excessive rise in blood carbon dioxide during underwater exercise in divers. We will also look at how oxygen and carbon dioxide enters and leaves blood cells and how it affects exercise capacity.
