Neuroscience Clinical Trials
When most people think of medical research they assume that the most advanced research comes from academic affiliations. But here at Cook Children's, we challenge that assumption. Our medical team is deeply involved in research of all kinds. We look for better ways to diagnose, treat and prevent neurological conditions ... and we look for ways to cure them.
Cook Children's is at the forefront of leading-edge clinical research and our specialists are actively participating in studies investigating a variety of conditions including epilepsy, stroke and neuromuscular disorders.
