At Sentara, we are committed to improving the lives of patients with neurological disorders.
Giving patients access to cutting-edge trials that seek to improve neurological symptoms and conditions is an essential part of our mission. We know this is vital, not just for Sentara patients but for patients everywhere with neurological disorders.
Improving neurological patient care
While researchers search for a cure for many neurological conditions, medication provided through clinical trials has successfully slowed the progression of some diseases and improved symptoms.
Our clinical trials seek to make a difference in many areas, including:
- Alzheimer's disease
- Dementia
- Epilepsy
- Headache/Migraine
- Movement disorders (Parkinson's, essential tremor, Huntington's, etc.)
- Mild cognitive impairment
- Multiple sclerosis
- Neuromuscular (ALS)
- Stroke treatment
Search for active clinical trials with Sentara.
Often patients who participate in neurology clinical trials are in search of the most innovative therapies available to them. Some want to slow the progression of their disease. Some are looking for symptomatic therapy when other approved medications have not been a good fit. Others are searching for a cure and wish to pioneer treatments that will make a difference for future patients. Without patient participation in clinical trials, future therapeutic medications will not be available.
