Neuroscience Clinical Research
Capital Institute for Neurosciences participates in, and develops, numerous research studies and clinical trials. The goal is to help provide greater understanding of neurological diseases, develop new methods to detect and diagnose those diseases, and focus on innovative treatments that are not broadly available to patients.
Clinical trials offer patients some of the very latest in care while giving physicians and researchers the opportunity to study the safety and effectiveness of new treatments. Participation is voluntary.
Our experienced neurologists and neurosurgeons, and research nurses, carefully review study criteria, potential benefits, risks, and other considerations with eligible patients for enrollment into a clinical study. Once enrolled, our clinical research staff carefully monitors patients throughout the research trial and is available to answer questions.
