Neurosciences and Spine Clinical Research

Clinical Trials

Neurosciences and Spine

Benaroya Research Institute and Virginia Mason Medical Center conduct clinical trials in the ongoing search for innovative therapies for neurological disorders. The Center for Neurosciences and Spine at the Virginia Mason Medical Center has specialized physicians and staff, cutting-edge technology, and a strong commitment to research.

Clinical Research Studies in Neurosciences and Spine

We have ongoing clinical studies in several areas of neuroscience and neurosurgery. Studies labeled as “Enrolling” are actively recruiting new participants while studies labeled as “Closed to Enrollment” are still active but no longer seeking new participants.
