Neurology in Florida

Research

Mayo Clinic strives to offer new research developments and clinical therapeutic trials to patients with neurologic problems. Clinical trials are available in several areas, including Alzheimer's disease; amyotrophic lateral sclerosis; tremor, Parkinson's disease and other movement disorders; cerebrovascular disease; neuro-oncology; and neuromuscular diseases.

For a listing of clinical trials involving patients at Mayo Clinic, see the Clinical Trials Web page. It lists clinical trials by condition, treatment, specialty and Mayo Clinic location.

This list includes only trials about which Mayo researchers have chosen to publish information. There may be other trials under way which are not part of this listing. Ask your doctor about clinical trials appropriate for your situation.

In the laboratory in Florida, Mayo Clinic scientists are searching for pieces of the puzzle that will help them understand and possibly prevent and treat neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and dementia. In the process, they hope to better understand the biochemical changes involved in memory. Our neurodegenerative diseases laboratories are exploring memory disorders and other brain diseases on molecular, genetic and biologic and pharmacologic levels.
