Neurology Research

The Concord Neurology Department participates in a range of research activities, including clinical research and clinical trial participation.

The department participates in several clinical drug trials at any point in time, predominately in the fields of multiple sclerosis, motor neurone diseases, and neuromuscular disease. 

Major focuses for clinical research include:

  • Motor neurone disease.
  • Neuroimmunological disease. For example, multiple sclerosis, myasthenia gravis, and other central nervous system neuroimmunological diseases.
  • Inherited neurological and neurodegenerative diseases. For example inherited neuropathy, myopathy, and dystrophy, inherited dystonia, frontotemporal dementia and other inherited young onset dementia.
