A Network for Rare Brain and Nerve Conditions at the University of Colorado
University of Colorado Rocky Mountain NeuroNEXT (UNCOMON) Clinical Research Consortium.
This project creates a team of experts at the University of Colorado to help find new ways to understand and treat rare brain and nerve conditions in both children and adults.

What this research studies
This project brings together a wide range of medical specialists, including neurologists, neurosurgeons, and experts in brain imaging and genetics, from both the University of Colorado Hospital and Children's Hospital of Colorado. Their goal is to form a strong, collaborative group dedicated to clinical research on rare and very rare brain and nerve disorders. By joining a national network called NeuroNEXT, this team aims to efficiently conduct clinical studies and contribute to new discoveries. This effort will help advance our understanding and potential treatments for these challenging conditions.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Patients with rare and ultra-rare neurologic and neurogenetic disorders, both adults and children, may eventually benefit from the research conducted through this consortium.
Not a fit: Patients whose conditions are not related to rare neurologic or neurogenetic disorders, or those not participating in future clinical trials, may not directly benefit from this specific consortium.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: This project aims to accelerate clinical research into rare neurologic and neurogenetic disorders, potentially leading to new treatments and better care for affected patients.
How similar studies have performed: The consortium builds upon established clinical research and educational resources, and its leaders have successfully participated in federally funded multi-center clinical trials.
