Houston Methodist is an international leader in neurology clinical trials. We provide innovative, leading-edge treatment options not yet widely available at other institutions.
A clinical trial is a research study testing brand-new treatments to determine their safety and effectiveness. They are typically innovative, novel treatments that can lead to positive or improved outcomes. Clinical trials can provide hope for patients who have not had success with standard or “best known” treatments, especially those with aggressive, returning conditions and complications.
As the patient, the decision to participate in a clinical trial is yours. If the trial works for your case, it can benefit both you and future neurology patients. You must meet a specific set of criteria in order to qualify for a clinical trial.
