Clinical Trials
The Texas Biomedical Device Center (TxBDC) has published seven clinical trials since its founding in 2012.
PTSD
Researchers from TxBDC at The University of Texas at Dallas, The University of Texas at Austin, and Baylor Scott & White Research Institute have teamed up to assess if implanted vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) can make Prolonged Exposure Therapy (a psychological treatment) more tolerable and effective for reducing symptom severity in participants with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Spinal Cord Injury
Researchers from Baylor Scott & White Institute for Rehabilitation and TxBDC at The University of Texas at Dallas have teamed up to assess if implanted vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) coupled with rehabilitation is able to improve recovery of arm function in people living with a spinal cord injury.
Stroke
Researchers from Baylor Scott & White Institute for Rehabilitation and TxBDC at The University of Texas at Dallas have teamed up to assess if implanted vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) coupled with rehabilitation is able to improve recovery of arm function after a stroke.

Tinnitus
We are not currently running any clinical trials for tinnitus. TxBDC conducted initial research and development into the VNS therapy for tinnitus; after which, one of our partner companies, MicroTransponder, further developed the technology and brought the treatment to clinical trials.
Further information regarding tinnitus and VNS therapy can be found on MicroTransponder’s website.
