Research

Mayo Clinic fosters an environment where scientific expertise is combined with clinical insights to create solutions for unmet patient needs. The unrelenting focus of our physician-scientists and other researchers results in better ways to prevent, diagnose and treat conditions of the brain and nervous system. Examples of successes that improve people's lives include:

  • Discovering more than 20 genes that cause or increase risk for various neurodegenerative conditions, like amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD).
  • Offering whole genome sequencing to neuro-oncology patients to individualize care.
  • Advancing in neuromodulation to improve the treatment of nervous system diseases like epilepsy.
  • Identifying patterns of pathology in multiple sclerosis (MS) that have improved our understanding of the mechanisms of the disease.
  • Establishing research and treatment of peripheral neuropathy, myopathies, autonomic disorders and myasthenia gravis.
  • Enrolling people in a large-scale study of aging to advance Alzheimer's disease discovery.
  • Leading national clinical trials that set the standard for treating unruptured intracranial aneurysms and carotid artery stenosis.

Clinical trials

Mayo Clinic researchers conduct clinical trials to find new ways to help people with conditions of the brain and nervous system. You may have an opportunity to be part of such trials. Learn more about current neurology clinical trials at Mayo Clinic.
