The purpose of this study is to learn more about the mechanisms of hearingloss, specifically to learn how abnormalities in the brain may produce certain experiences that are common in patients with hearing…
We are currently looking for adult patients who have undergone successful treatment of their obstructive sleep apnea with a hypoglossal nerve stimulator implant (i.e. Inspire therapy). Participants should be willing to participate in at-home sleep studies and come to Columbia University Irving Medical Center for at least 2…
Cisplatin is a chemotherapy medicine that is used to treat a variety of cancers. At high total (cumulative) doses it can be associated with progressive and irreversible hearingloss. The purpose of this study is see if injections of OTO-104 can protect against hearing…
The purpose of this research is to find out whether it is safe to use a virus to deliver a new gene to the inner ear of people with hearingloss. This is a kind of gene therapy which involves gene transfer. Once the genetic material…
For over 30 years, The Columbia University Alzheimer's Disease Research Center (ADRC) has worked with thousands of participants who have helped provide important insights into how the brain ages and why Alzheimer's disease may develop. We are actively recruiting adults 65 y…
Our research team at Columbia University is trying to understand the impact of COVID-19 on smell and taste (chemosensory) dysfunction among adult patients from the Greater New York City area. Current areas of study include: 1) Investigation of smell and taste recovery patterns among patients with COVID-19; 2) Studies on how…
This research study aims to obtain a greater understanding of the causes of cognitive decline in Alzheimer's disease. We are currently enrolling male and female participants (ages 55 years and older) with Alzheimer's disease, mild cognitive impairment, or healthy controls. Enrolled participants…
The Columbia University Department of Otolaryngology is interested in understanding altered flavor perception through the Cognitive Flavor Assessment Protocol (CFAP), a novel multisensory diagnostic and training framework that links smell and taste function to cognitive and emotional health. You can participate in this study if you are an adult between 18…
This is a research study for persons with memory problems that examines the utility of performing positron emission tomography (PET) scans for the brain amyloid protein found in Alzheimer's disease.

Small fiber neuropathy is a painful condition caused by damage to the small nerves in your arms andlegs. This damage causes burning, sharp-stabbing and aching pain, amongst other types of pain. It can be sometimes difficult to know the cause of the damage to the small nerves in your arms and legs. In most cases, treatment for small fiber neuropathy is…
This study is for patients with Alzheimer's Disease. Alzheimers disease is a disorder characterized by progressive loss of memory, thinking, and behavior. An earlier study in patients having mild to moderate Alzheimers disease has demonstrated more pronounced benefit of treatment with azeliragon…
Apathy is a very common symptom experienced by people with Alzheimer's disease, and includes a lack of motivation and loss of interest in many activities. Patients and their caregivers often find apathy to be particularly distressing. This study aims to obtain a greater understanding of the causes of apathy in Alzheimer's…
