Stimulating Specific Brain Areas (VOP/VIM) With Electricity to Improve Movement and Muscle Control
In this study the investigators aim to enroll patients scheduled to undergo deep brain stimulation (DBS) implantation for movement disorders for intra-operative testing. In addition to standard-of-care surgical procedure to implant deep brain stimulation electrode leads, participants will also be stimulated and recorded from cortical areas by a temporary strip …
Scapular Repositioning for Neck Pain and Scapular Dysfunction
This randomized controlled trial is designed to evaluate the effects of scapular repositioning in individuals with neck pain and scapular dysfunction. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does scapular repositioning reduce neck pain, increase range of motion, and improve joint position sense and pressure pain threshold? Which type …
Effectiveness of Scapular Exercises Compared To Conventional Treatment in Shoulder Pain
The contribution of the scapula to shoulder joint movement is great. The contribution of the scapula bone is more prominent, especially in overhead activities. Therefore, the position and movement of the scapula are generally examined in people with shoulder disease. Scapula-focused exercises are used in patients with shoulder problems. However, …
Feasibility and Utility of Artificial Intelligence (AI) / Machine Learning (ML) - Driven Advanced Intraoperative Visualization and Identification of Critical Anatomic Structures and Procedural Phases in Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy
The goal of this study is to evaluate the utility and efficacy of an artificial intelligence (AI) model at identifying structures and phases of surgery compared to traditional white light assessment by trained surgeons. Surgeons will perform the procedure in their standard practice, while the AI model analyzes data from …
Long-term Brain Stimulation of the Motor Ventral Thalamus (VOP/VIM) to Improve Motor Function
This study aims to recruit patients already implanted with Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) for movement disorders to complete tasks assessing parameters of motor output, speech, and swallowing functions, both with and without stimulation. DBS parameters would be adjusted prior to motor testing. Patients would then participate in multiple sessions performing …
Utility of PCD Diagnostics to Improve Clinical Care
This is a study evaluating the utility of current Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia (PCD) diagnostic tests, including nasal nitric oxide testing.
U-POEM vs CO2-POEM
Multicenter randomized trial comparing post-procedural pain intensity after Per-Oral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) between two types of standard of care insufflation methods (CO2 vs Underwater). POEM is routinely performed under carbon dioxide insufflation (CO2-POEM) as this gas is more rapidly absorbed than air, which has been shown to reduce gas-related complications. …
Non-invasive BCI-controlled Assistive Devices
Injuries affecting the central nervous system may disrupt the cortical pathways to muscles causing loss of motor control. Nevertheless, the brain still exhibits sensorimotor rhythms (SMRs) during movement intents or motor imagery (MI), which is the mental rehearsal of the kinesthetics of a movement without actually performing it. Brain-computer interfaces …
High Resolution Manometry After Partial Fundoplication for Gastro-oesophageal Reflux
This is a combined retro- and prospective, monocentric study. All patients who underwent or are planned for laparoscopic partial fundoplication (180° anterior or 270° posterior) between 2020-2023 are assessed for preoperative ineffective esophageal motility (IEM). The main hypothesis is, that preoperative oesophageal motility disorders, especially hypo-contractility or failed peristalsis, are …
Effectiveness of Methods for Pyloric Drainage in esophagecTomY: Botox vs. Pyloromyotomy
The goal of this pragmatic, registry-based, randomized clinical trial is to find out if using botulinum toxin (Botox) to help drain the stomach during an esophagectomy works as well as a pyloromyotomy in patients undergoing elective esophagectomy for benign or malignant esophageal disease. Both methods are intended to prevent problems …
