Under the auspices of lead researcher, Brian Clark, a research study, Development of a Telemedicine Approach for the Treatment of MdDS, is underway at the Icahn School of Medicine, Mt. Sinai Hospital in New York City. Support for this study is being provided by donations to the MdDS Foundation.
This collaborative research effort is designed to develop and test a virtual reality (VR)-based device as an effective, portable, and inexpensive means for home treatment of MdDS.
Dr. Clark also received grant support from the MdDS Foundation to enable early clinical studies focused on MdDS. The results of Dr. Clark’s MdDS studies have been published in the peer-reviewed literature as follows:
