Spinal Cord Injury

We are currently looking at sensorimotor plasticity after spinal cord injury using a variety of techniques including FMRI, TMS, EEG and somatosensory evoked potentials. Other projects include:

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Studies

Stanford Neurosurgical Outcomes Research Center &Lab (SNORCL)

The main goals of this section is to evaluate neurosurgical outcomes using the Stanford Stride inpatient database, Palo Alto VA Hospital inpatient databases, Nationwide VA and Non-VA hospital, Medicare, and State databases and Cancer registries. Ongoing projects include analysis of lumbar and cervical stenosis and spinal metastases treatment and outcomes. Other projects include examination of safety and effectiveness of cutting-edge spinal technologies such as bone morphogenic protein, X-STOP interspinous process decompression, and artificial disc replacement. A variety of statistical software including SAS, Stata, R, S plus, DTReg, and Treeage are used to perform multivariate analysis, predictive modeling, cost effectiveness, cost utility analysis and economic analysis of spinal surgery.
