The Performing Arts Clinic is a center for research on nerve entrapment syndromes and focal dystonia in musicians. Current endeavors include:
- Early electrodiagnosis of mild nerve entrapment syndromes
- Surgical outcomes in ulnar decompression procedures
- Pathophysiology of focal dystonia
- Functional brain imaging of finger movements in musicians with normal, injured and dystonic movements
(Functional brain imaging research at the Clinic is supported by a grant from the Milton Foundation.)
