We are doing this study because we want to find out if MRI brain scans alone is better or worse than MRI brain scans plus preventative brain radiation for patients with small lung cancer. The usual approach for patients with small cell lung cancer is prophylactic…
The purpose of this study is to compare any good and bad effects of avoiding the hippocampus during whole brain radiation to the usual whole-brain radiation. The hippocampus is part of the brain that is important for memory. Avoiding the hippocampus during whole-…
The purpose of this study is to obtain information on the safety and effectiveness of NovoTTF-100M (study device) in subjects with brain metastases (tumors) as a result of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Early Age-Related Hearing Loss Investigation (EARHLI) is a study to obtain information on how a hearing aid-based intervention can prevent cognitive decline in those at risk for Alzheimer's Disease and Alzheimer's Disease Related Dementias (AD/ADRD). Age-related hearing loss (ARHL) is the third most common chronic condition in older adults. The way Age-…
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 recovery of smell and taste after…
The purpose of this study is to learn more about the mechanisms of hearing loss, specifically to learn how abnormalities in the brain may produce certain experiences that are common in patients with hearing loss. Individuals with hearing loss will be compared to individuals with normal hearing.
