Anorexia Nervosa is a serious illness and relapse rates are high. We have shown that behavioral routines get stuck/entrenched. Our newest research, Relapse Prevention and Changing Habits (REACH+) for Anorexia Nervosa, aims to help patients minimize unhelpful routines and develop more healthful recovery-oriented behavior. Participants will complete initial…
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…
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…
People with bulimia nervosa engage in risky behaviors more often than people without this disorder. We are researching the neurobiological underpinnings of risky decision-making in bulimia nervosa. As a participant in this study, you would: (1) complete a series of questionnaires and interviews, (2) complete an MRI scan (no radiation), and (3) complete…
People with bulimia nervosa engage in risky behaviors more often than people without this disorder. We are researching the neurobiological underpinnings of risky decision-making in bulimia nervosa. As a participant in this study, your teen would: (1) complete a series of questionnaires and interviews, (2) complete an MRI scan (no radiation), and (3)…
This study is for patients with Glaucoma. The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and effectiveness of a study drug called Bimatoprost Sustained Release (SR) compared to treatment with eye drug Timolol. The Bimatoprost SR is an implant that is very small, is biodegradable (dissolves naturally in the body), and contains the bimatoprost drug.
Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. The most important test to detect progression is visual field testing. However, this test is very subjective, often unreliable, and variable. One of the main causes of unreliable tests is the lack of attentiveness or concentration during the test. Previous studies have shown that listening…
Glaucoma is a given name of a group of diseases that affect the retinal ganglion cells in the eye and the optic nerve. Glaucoma cause degeneration of the retinal ganglion cells in the retina and their projections (axons) that form the optic nerve. Retinal ganglion cells and their axons transmit all of our vision information from the eye to the brain through…
