- Kent State University – “Our current research examines the benefits of exercise and movement training on motor function in individuals with Parkinson's disease and multiple sclerosis.” With Angela Ridgley https://www.kent.edu/ehhs/hs/exph/motor-control-lab
- Cleveland Clinic – “Currently, our center offers clinical trials examining the efficacy and safety of pharmacological, non-pharmacological (such as exercise therapy), and surgical (such as deep brain stimulation and gene therapy) treatments. In collaboration with colleagues from Cleveland Clinic Lerner Research Institute, several translational research projects are underway in neurophysiology, genetics, transcranial stimulation, and biomarkers.” https://my.clevelandclinic.org/research/neurological/neurological-restoration
- University Hospitals – “Along with Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, the center is working to refine current techniques and discover new treatments. Areas of investigation include:
- The establishment of the Case Western Reserve University Clinical and Translational Science Collaborative’s (CTSC) Parkinson’s disease phenotypic and genotypic registry to examine the genetic effects of the disease.
- Participation in the national BrainGate 2 study, which is examining the potential and ability of those suffering paralysis to control a computer cursor and other assistive devices with their thoughts.
- A Phase 4, open-label, efficacy and safety study of APOKYN® for rapid and reliable improvement of motor symptoms in Parkinson’s disease.
- A National Institutes of Health-sponsored study examining functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) investigations of the effects of deep brain stimulation in dystonia.
- Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) investigations of Parkinson’s disease and the brain network changes involved in changes in the handling and perception of other parts of the body for patients with Parkinson’s disease.” https://www.uhhospitals.org/uh-research/department-research/neurology-and-neurosurgery-research/parkinsons-movement-clinical-research
