About Research for Stroke
NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell
The NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell stroke team participates in several research efforts directed toward improving the outcome of patients with acute stroke. These include:
- Studies of new medical and surgical treatments for stroke.
- Studies of how neurons grow and regenerate following stroke.
- Functional MRI studies of brain activity during recovery from stroke.
NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia
NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia is one of eight national recipients of a Specialized Program in Translational Research in Acute Stroke (SPOTRIAS) grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
Research at NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia includes:
- New treatments for hemorrhagic stroke.
- Studies of the effectiveness of statins in stroke patients.
- Identifying risk factors and genetic determinants of stroke.
- Educational programs to improve the recognition of the symptoms of stroke.
- New imaging techniques to determine a patient's prognosis following stroke.
- Studies of functional MRI to help explain the variability in early stroke outcomes.
- Testing of bypass operations to improve cognition when a carotid artery is blocked.
- The use of robotics and new drugs to speed the recovery of motor function following stroke.
