Neurology

Neurology is the branch of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of disorders of the nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. Neurologists treat conditions such as stroke, epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, multiple sclerosis (MS), and migraines. In clinical research, neurology is a therapeutic area that involves studying these conditions to develop new treatments and improve patient outcomes. Contract Research Organizations (CROs) often offer services in this therapeutic area to help clinical researchers expand therapies, treatments, and devices for people suffering from neurological diseases and disorders.
