Clinical trials are crucial for advancing medical breakthroughs and testing new treatments that may become tomorrow’s cures. At Washington University/Barnes Jewish Hospital, research on acute treatment, recovery and rehabilitation and stroke prevention is fundamental to the mission of stroke research. Insights gained from these clinical trials are vital for enhancing patient health outcomes following a stroke and helping patients regain their pre-stroke quality of life.
How to participate
What is a clinical trial? Clinical trials are research studies that test a medical, surgical, or behavioral intervention in people. Information learned from clinical trials will help patients live longer, healthier lives. Clinical studies are carefully and ethically designed to protect participants from unnecessary side effects and other risks.
