One in four people will have a stroke in their lifetime.
Today we are continuing our nationally known stroke research, and collaborating with others across our system, to treat a wide range of neurological diseases, including movement disorders, and dementia. The creation of our new Neuroscience Research Center will build upon the highly collaborative work of our neuroscience teams, including:
- Dementia
- ALS
- Epilepsy
- Brain tumors
- Movement disorders
- Brain hemorrhages
- Stroke
Plus, we’re using our research to:
- Develop new ways to manage people’s pain without the use of prescription opioids
- Save stroke patients’ lives by better identifying brain hemorrhages in an ambulance and transporting them to the best place for critical care
- Implement innovative blood pressure management strategies to help stroke survivors prevent recurrent stroke
- Lead game-changing clinical trials designed to ensure the advances and discoveries we are making today will benefit those who need us most tomorrow and beyond
- Better understand the neurobiology of substance abuse so that we can help shape strategies designed to improve prevention, treatment and recovery
And now we are poised and ready to accomplish even more when it comes to treating the wide range of neurological diseases, including movement disorders, and dementia – all of which profoundly change lives forever.
