Principal Investigator
Theresa D. Hernández,
Associate Professor, Ph.D. 1988, University of Texas at
Austin: The Hernández CAIRR Neuroscience Lab is using scientifically
rigorous methods to explore the efficacy of Jin Shin acupressure in
traumatic brain injury and stress resilience. We are interested in
providing an experimental basis for improving the stress response so
that neurobehavioral function is optimized.
Goals and Objectives of the Lab:
Our clinically-based program of research is dedicated to the use of
scientifically rigorous experimental designs to investigate the role of
Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) in the treatment of
traumatic brain injury and stress resilience. We are currently
investigating the efficacy of acupressure as an intervention for
reducing the stress response in athletes off of the playing field, as
well as reducing the number of injuries on the field.
