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.)
