Neurological Disorders

Summary

We support and deliver research studies in the NHS that deal with:

epilepsy
multiple sclerosis
neuro-muscular disease
neurological infections such as encephalitis
the normal development of the nervous system

We aim to increase the understanding of the causes of these conditions, and improve the prevention, detection, care and treatment for people suffering from them.

Our local teams of research staff are specialists in facilitating the set up and recruitment to neurological disorders studies in England. We have substantial experience of supporting all types of research studies including complex and multi-centre clinical interventions.
