The Department of Neurology runs a large number of clinical trials in nearly every subspecialty of neurology. Below is a list of the department’s current clinical trials.
About participating
What is a clinical trial? Clinical trials are organized experiments performed on human participants to determine the best way to treat, diagnose or prevent a disease. The information that scientists learn from clinical trials helps to improve the medical care for future patients. Clinical studies are carefully and ethically designed to protect participants from unnecessary side effects and other risks. Most clinical research is federally regulated with built-in safeguards to protect the participants.
