Adult & Pediatric Cochlear Implant Program
exploratoryresearch program · high
Restore hearing in patients for whom hearing aids are ineffective or who have single-sided hearing loss, with potential cognitive and dementia-prevention relevance through treatment of hearing loss.
Cochlear implantation and audiology-led rehabilitative services; related research includes intraoperative multi-frequency electrocochleography during cochlear implant insertion.
2026 publication reported a prospective multi-institutional cohort study of a novel multi-frequency ECochG algorithm during cochlear implant insertion.
The 2026 ECochG study reported fewer drop alarms with multi-frequency ECochG than single-frequency ECochG during cochlear implant insertion.
Brain Health Center Cognitive Conditions Program
undisclosedother · medium
Support early detection, prevention, and personalized treatment for cognitive conditions, including memory loss and dementia-related care.
Multidisciplinary neuroscience care using personalized treatment, early detection and prevention approaches, clinical trials, and evidence-based lifestyle interventions.
Site analysis identifies brain health, early detection and prevention for cognitive conditions, clinical trials, and evidence-based lifestyle interventions as active PNI offerings.
Brain Tumor Surgery Enhanced Recovery Nutrition Research
exploratoryresearch program · medium
Improve perioperative nutrition risk identification, stratification, and tailored nutritional interventions for patients undergoing brain tumor surgery.
Scoping review comparing nutritional strategies in general ERAS protocols versus enhanced recovery after brain tumor surgery protocols, with proposal of a perioperative nutrition score.
2026 publication proposed a perioperative nutrition score for brain tumor surgery after reviewing evidence and gaps.
The review found nutrition elements in ERAS and brain tumor surgery ERAS protocols were inconsistently defined and insufficiently linked to outcomes; favorable but heterogeneous outcomes included improved ambulation, reduced ICU utilization, and lower pain and nausea in some ERABTS studies.
Middle Meningeal Artery Embolization for Chronic Subdural Hematoma
phase 3research program · high
Evaluate whether adjunctive middle meningeal artery embolization improves outcomes after surgical evacuation of chronic subdural hematoma.
Multicenter randomized interventional trial comparing surgery plus middle meningeal artery embolization versus surgery alone, with CT/MRI imaging endpoints.
2026 Radiology publication reported prespecified and post hoc CT/MRI endpoint analyses from the EMBOLISE trial.
Adjunctive MMAE plus surgery was associated with significantly lower absolute hematoma volumes at 90 and 180 days, although prespecified secondary imaging endpoints did not significantly differ between groups.
Vestibular Schwannoma Imaging Guidelines Update
exploratoryresearch program · medium
Update evidence-based recommendations for imaging in diagnosis, surveillance, treatment decision making, and follow-up of vestibular schwannomas.
Congress of Neurological Surgeons systematic literature review of imaging protocols for vestibular schwannoma management from 2015 to 2022.
Publication of updated evidence-based guideline recommendations based on 57 included studies.
The review found the evidence base broad but low certainty and low quality, with mostly level III evidence and recommendations.
