There are numerous opportunities at IND for volunteers to participate in a variety of research studies. During the past year, hundreds of individuals participated in our research program. While many of these research participants are from New England, a number of individuals have traveled throughout the United States and Canada to play a part in our research program 

There are many reasons why people volunteer to take part in a clinical trial:

• Some volunteers are effected by Parkinson's Disease or Alzheimer's Disease and want to help researchers find out more about it in order to develop new  treatments.
• Sometimes volunteers have a friend or loved one effected by Parkinson's Disease or Alzheimer's Disease, and they want to participate in a research study as a way to help those who suffer from the same condition.
• Participating in a clinical trial may offer potential experimental options that might be unavailable otherwise.
• Many people choose to participate in a study even though it might not help them directly. Knowing that others may benefit from their efforts is a rewarding experience.

Research studies at IND are seeking both participants with and without neurologic conditions.  Healthy volunteers are important to research outcomes.  Specific criteria are used to determine eligibility.  These criteria are used to identify whether a specific study is appropriate for the participant and to ensure each individuals safety.

We believe that the research we are doing at the Institute for Neurodegenerative Disorders will bring us closer to new treatments and cures. With over 20 years of experience, you can count on us to listen to you as we strive to find results and prevent neurologic conditions.  We are dedicated to finding the best tools and most effective methods for treating neurological conditions.
