Current Studies
Each year, Rehabilitation Hospital of Indiana (RHI) conducts numerous clinical and translational research studies in the fields of brain injury, spinal cord injury, and stroke. The groundbreaking research conducted on-site enables RHI to apply scientifically tested, evidence-based research to make patient care better. As a result, our patients benefit from the most cutting edge interventions and therapies that have been proven to get results.
