Research Update

The first Chiari study in Buffalo, funded by COH, began September 23 2010. We are finishing our Australian study at Dent Neurological Institute. The study is measuring the timing between the arterial and the CSF pulse. It then models the differential pressure inside the spinal cord vs. outside the cord. We hope this study will help doctors determine when Chiari will cause syringomyelia. We hope this study leads to funding for a much larger study next year.
