Neuro-X Lab
Creating Disruptive Brain Stimulation Technologies at the Intersection of Neuroscience and Medicine.
What Is Neuro-X?
The Neuro-X Lab is a multidisciplinary neuromodulation, engineering, and innovation laboratory housed within the Department of Psychiatry at the Medical University of South Carolina and directed by Dr. Bashar W. Badran. Neuro-X fosters an environment of neurotechnology and innovation to begin addressing complex medical and neuropsychiatric disorders.
Participate in Ongoing Clinical Trials
-
Addiction and Pain
We are recruiting cocaine users, opioid users, and healthy controls for treatment trials.
-
Depression
These studies are enrolling both individuals with depression in the inpatient and outpatient setting.
-
Smell Loss
Did you have a COVID and lose your sense of smell? We have an ongoing trial that may provide some relief.
-
Ehlers Danlos Syndrome
In the Fall of 2023, we will begin a new clinical trial funded by MUSC to help manage EDS symptoms at home.
