What this research studies
This site is part of the NeuroNEXT national network and runs clinical trials of new therapies for neurological disorders from the UC Davis Health campus in Sacramento. The team uses clinic visits, telehealth, digital outreach, and biospecimen collection to identify and enroll eligible adults. As a renewed NeuroNEXT site, it connects patients to multi-center trials and a translational pipeline that links university drug development with clinical testing. Participation can include regular study visits, remote check-ins, and giving samples for research.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Adults (21+) with neurological disorders who live near Sacramento or can participate via telehealth or travel to UC Davis are ideal candidates.
Not a fit: People without neurological conditions or those who cannot travel to the Sacramento area or use telehealth likely will not benefit directly from this site.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the site could make it easier for people with neurological conditions to join clinical trials and access promising new therapies sooner.
How similar studies have performed: This continues work within the established NeuroNEXT network, which has supported successful multi-center neurology trials in the past.
