Participation Overview To accelerate the translation of experimental therapies into “standards of care”, the Cleveland FES Center investigators conduct clinical trials. Clinical trials are organized studies conducted with individuals as research volunteers. The studies are designed to answer specific questions about new therapies or about new ways to use standard therapies. Many individuals wish to…
Kevin Kilgore’s passion for pioneering solutions for individuals with spinal cord injuries (SCI) goes beyond the laboratory. As one of the funded proposals in MetroHealth’s 2015 “Think Tank”, an employee competition of innovative ideas that would improve both MetroHealth and the surrounding community, the Zubizarreta House will be a new residential center for SCI patients…
