Clinical Trials with Neurosurgery at UVA

Hospital Exterior Clinical trials are critical to finding better ways to prevent, diagnose and treat neurological disorders. They help us to move basic scientific research from the laboratory into actual treatments that help patients. There are four phases of clinical trials. We are conducting Phase 1, Phase 2, and Phase 3 trials.
