Research
Our patients have the option to participate in clinical trials to help advance medical research. After an initial screening of study options, the physician can determine whether the patient may be a candidate for the study and can discuss participation with the patient.
Clinical trials are provided as options to help push forward research on Alzheimer’s, progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and other diseases.
To learn more about these studies contact the Texas Health THRresearch@texasheatlh.org and check these websites for more information:
