Ongoing projects

  • Motor neurons – can they be counted? (MUNE and NI study)
    Study of new methods for diagnostics and follow-up of neuromuscular disease
     
  • Tak-861
    Clinical Studies of Treatment of Narcolepsy 
      
  • PETRA
    Multicenter randomized controlled study (PETRA-NMD) evaluating personalized exercise-based treatment for people with rare neuromuscular disorders, assessing effects on clinical outcomes and exploratory biomarkers.
     
  • Identifying Novel Imaging biomarkers in epileptogenesis post traumatic brain injury
    Studying the glymphatic system and its abnormalities as potential predictor for epilepsi after traumatic brain injury by using an advanced machine learning MRI post processing tool.
     
  • NOR-CACTUS
    Clinical project, in collaboration with Diakonhjemmet, evaluating a stepwise treatment strategy for mild to moderate idiopathic carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), using ultrasound-guided corticosteroid injection, scheduled assessment, and surgery if needed, compared to primary surgical treatment, aiming to achieve non-inferior long-term outcomes while reducing adverse events and overall surgical interventions.

  • Responsible for development and maintenance of "Neuroscience registry for research and quality studies" for Oslo University Hospital 2014 –. (oslo-universitetssykehus.no - in Norwegian)
