Pediatric Neuroscience °µÍøTV in Delaware Valley
Helping Improve Quality of Life for Kids With Brain & Spine Conditions
Our team is researching new and innovative treatments that improve the lives of kids with neurological disorders.
With our work, we’re trying to understand everything we can about brain and spine conditions in children. What causes them? How can we better predict progression? Answering these questions is how we develop new treatments and prevention therapies.
Our research team includes experts in neuroscience, epilepsy, general neurology, neonatal neurology, neuro-ophthalmology, neuromuscular disorders, neuroimmunology and genetics.
With active clinical trials exploring new treatments for conditions like tuberous sclerosis, migraine and Dravet syndrome, we’re helping translate discoveries into real-world impact.
Neurology Clinical Trials at Nemours
Our team is working to discover new treatments to help kids with brain and spine conditions. What we learn directly guides our care. You can enroll your child in a clinical trial or a registry.
