Dr. Darrow is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Neurosurgery, specializing in functional and pain neurosurgery. He treats diseases of the central nervous system including epilepsy, movement disorders, trigeminal neuralgia/facial pain, chronic pain, and psychiatric diseases. Dr. Darrow completed his neurosurgery at the University of Minnesota where he worked on developing novel neuromodulation techniques and applications including focused ultrasound, spinal cord stimulation, peripheral nerve stimulation, and deep brain stimulation. Dr. Darrow is co-PI of the Herman-Darrow Human Neuroscience Lab with a mission of understanding and treating disorders of the nervous system with neuromodulation. The Herman-Darrow Lab links together circuit-level electrophysiology with behavior. By pairing neuromodulation with a quantitative understanding of the pathological circuits of the brain, the lab hopes to help patients improve symptoms and quality of life. Dr. Darrow is the PI for the E-STAND trial, where neuromodulation is used to restore function after Spinal Cord Injury. In collaboration with many other investigators, the team is testing neuromodulation to restore volitional movement and autonomic function using algorithmic, personalized approaches through remote data collection.
