Sympathetic innervation to the face and head is by superior cervical ganglion(SCG), which is the most cranial part of the sympathetic chain. It is suited in a plication of the prevertebral fascia anterior to the longuscapitis muscle and dorsal to the internal carotid artery, posteromedial to the
Biomarkers that reflect disease presence or intensity, or treatment efficacy are central to medical advancements. Recorded biomarkers provide information about physiological processes regulated by the autonomic nervous system (ANS), which include blood pressure, heart rate, sweating, and body
1. Consent patients that have been referred to the Noninvasive Brain Stimulation Clinic at the University of Iowa.
2. Patients will complete the following before any treatments occur: Tinnitus Intake Questionnaire, Tinnitus Functional Index, Tinnitus Questionnaires, Iowa Tinnitus Primary Function,
Bruxism is different from temporomandibular joint disease because of long periods of muscle contraction. It is considered an eloquent contributory factor in the etiology of temporomandibular disorders (TMD). The incidence of bruxism is estimated to be approximately between 5% and 10% of the adult
Stroke or unsufficient cerebral circulation is a non-traumatic disease due to occlusion or rupture of brain blood circulation characterized by neurological deficits such as loss of motor control, cognitive impairment, oral disorder or sensory changes in one half of the body resulting from changes.
Purpose and Background
Schizophrenia is a serious mental health disorder with a constellation of positive, negative, and cognitive symptoms. Negative symptoms can include characteristics such as affective flattening, avolition, and alogia. Positive symptoms can include delusions, hallucinations, and
The proposed study seeks to improve the prevention of suicide by advancing our understanding of the neurobiology of suicide by using a randomized control trial of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) as a hypothesis driven intervention for acute suicidality. In 2010 suicide was
Tinnitus refers to persistent "ringing in the ears" in absence of external sound. For some individuals tinnitus can be disabling. Most tinnitus is of idiopathic origin and currently there are no reliable treatment options available. Existing approaches, such as hearing aids, counseling, and noise
1.0 Background
While atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia requiring therapy, it is also associated with increased risk of stroke, heart failure, myocardial infarction, dementia, and death. The number of Americans affected with AF is expected to surge to nearly 16
Noninvasive brain stimulation (NBS) represents a promising set of tools for neurotherapeutics and rehabilitation. In a literature search, NBS has been tested for over seventy neurologic and psychiatric conditions. NBS may complement existing medical treatments, especially for neurologic indications
Intracranial arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are relatively uncommon but increasingly discovered lesions that can lead to significant neurological disability or death.1 Population-based data suggest that the annual incidence of discovery of a symptomatic AVM is approximately 1.1 per 100 000

The Eustachian tube is a tube that connects the back of the nose with the ear. Its job is to keep the pressure on the inside of the eardrum close to the pressure outside the eardrum, so that the eardrum can vibrate properly. Usually this tube is closed, but it opens briefly during swallowing. In the
