Medical Breakthroughs Start with You
Clinical trials are how we discover new treatments, improve care, and advance our understanding of disease.
JOIN A STUDY
What are clinical trials?
First, scientists create and test a new treatment in a lab.
Before doctors can prescribe it to everyone, they need to make sure it's safe and effective.
To do this, volunteers are asked to try the treatment under the close watch of doctors.
Researchers then track how well it works and compare it to other treatments.
Whether you're searching for new possibilities or seeking deeper involvement in your care, Boston Neurobehavioral Research is where innovation meets opportunity.
