The Neurocare Center for Research has completed more than 20 clinical trials for leading pharmaceutical companies since its inception in 2001. The Center develops and conducts investigator initiated trials and participates in Phase I, II, III, and IV trials in the areas of neurology, sleep medicine and psychiatry.

Working with direct oversight from our medical director and other principal investigators, our professional and engaging clinical coordinators have a record of outstanding success in retaining subjects and providing meticulous data management. We recruit subjects through our networks, internal databases, newsletters, newspaper, radio, direct mail advertising, community education seminars, and health fairs.

Our research program is headquartered at our Center for Sleep in Newton, which is accredited by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, signifying adherence to the highest clinical standards.

Our Center for Research is part of Neurocare, Inc., a comprehensive sleep disorders company established nearly 18 years ago. Through its Alliances in Sleep Medicine program, Neurocare manages several sleep disorders programs in hospitals and academic medical centers throughout New England and the East Coast.
