What are Clinical Trials?
Clinical trials involve testing new drugs in patients who have the disorder or disease being treated. These trials are conducted after extensive research and testing in labs and with healthy volunteers. CMH Neurology & Headache Center gives patients opportunities to participate in clinical trials that help to move new treatments forward. Participants get to try new treatments while offering hope for patients in the future.
