Clinical Research Introduction
With the help and cooperation of people in communities worldwide, our work in the Clinical Research department is focused on identifying risk factors, detecting disease in the community and advancing an understanding of the causes of Parkinson’s disease and other movement disorders. We are currently conducting many studies that may eventually lead to new treatments for Parkinson’s disease and other related disorders.
Studies on the Causes of Parkinson's Disease and Other Movement Disorders

Surveillance and Early Detection

Studies on the Treatment of Parkinson's Disease and Other Movement Disorders
Clinical trials are the vital step in verifying drug effects in humans, and are therefore very beneficial to the scientific community, individual study patients, and the medical world in general. >> More
