“The Neurocognition and Movement Lab under Dr. Schiehser at the VA San Diego is looking for military veterans to participate in a research study investigating the impact of head injuries on Parkinson’s Disease. Prior head injuries are not required to participate in this study. The study consists of completing cognitive assessments with a research assistant to assess multiple cognitive domains and completing questionnaires. You would also complete a motor exam administered by a neurologist and complete a functional MRI scan of your brain. There would be two visits involved for the entire study: one at baseline and a follow-up appointment two years later, with the cognitive assessments, questionnaires, and motor exam done at both timepoints. Participants may be compensated up to $150 for their entire participation.
If interested, please call (858) 552-8585 ext. 2951 to speak with a lab member or email de************@va.gov for more information.”
