For some studies, research participants and their caregivers/informants do get reimbursed for their time and travel.
Clinical research studies vary. Some studies only require 2 or 3 visits whereas others can last for several years, across multiple visits.
Please review the different clinical studies being conducted at NCBI on our website (http://neuroci.com/clinical-research/) or call the Research Department at (973) 601-0100 Option 6, and they will review with you the clinical research studies that are either ongoing or anticipated to be available in the near future. You have to complete a screening process for each study to determine if you are eligible.
These are similar terms indicating that the research is being conducted with patients presenting with various disorders. All clinical research follows a pre-defined plan or protocol approved by an independent research committee (e.g. IRB) that oversee the study and ensures that the study has been designed to be as safe as possible for the participants.
At NCBI, all of our patients are aware of and have access to clinical trials as a possible treatment option for their central nervous system related condition. We have a newly renovated clinical research unit at NCBI. Here, we study promising new diagnostic and treatment options with our patients and their family members. Our clinical research unit (CRU) offers all the latest safety equipment and access to innovative treatments. In addition to our clinical neuroscientists, the CRU is supervised by doctors and nurses trained in critical care and internal medicine. Our clinical research unit is an integral part of the comprehensive clinical services we offer to our patients with cognitive, neurobehavioral and neuropsychiatric disorders.
