Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) for Alcohol Use Disorder
This study uses TMS, alcohol lab sessions, and magnetic resonance spectroscopy to study the effects of TMS on choices to drink alcohol and neurotransmitters in the brain. We are seeking adults who have trouble with alcohol but are not looking for treatment to participate in a 4-week long inpatient study. A description of this study can be found here: https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03809286.

Ketamine for Tinnitus
Our lab is conducting a study investigating the effect of ketamine for tinnitus, which is ‘ringing in the ears’ in the absence of ambient sound. Tinnitus often occurs with hearing loss, and it is fairly common. Unfortunately, it is difficult to treat, and there are few options. Our study uses Magnetic Resonance Imaging to assess the effect of ketamine, which is known to treat depression, for tinnitus.

Cannabinoids for Neuropathy
The PINC study (Paclitaxel Induced Neuropathy and Cannabis) is a clinical trial investigating cannabinoids for peripheral neuropathy caused by chemotherapy (paclitaxel or docetaxel). This study enrolls volunteers who have experienced neuropathy due to breast cancer treatment. A description of this clinical trial can be found here: https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03782402
