Research Studies Accepting Participant Volunteers 

The Clinical Research Service offers some of the latest innovations and discoveries in the field of psychopharmacology. Individuals eligible for inclusion into studies will be provided with a comprehensive evaluation at no cost. For those receiving treatment, in many cases this may consist of a medication or of a device not yet available for clinical use. Once participants' involvement in a study is concluded, if desired and appropriate, every effort is made to refer them for ongoing clinical treatment.

At present, we are actively recruiting for the following study:

A clinical trial sponsored by UCB Pharma, Inc. is being conducted for a potential new medication treatment for panic disorder.  The medication under investigation has been shown to be effective in treating epilepsy, and preliminary evidence point towards anti-anxiety effects as well.  The current study will assess if the investigational drug is safe and effective in treating panic disorder.  Qualified subjects will receive study medication and study related physician visits at no charge, as well as a nominal fee for their participation.  The following study related benefits may be administered at no charge to all who are eligible:

    • Professional mental health assessment
    • Physical Examination
    • Laboratory Services
To qualify you must be 18 years or older, and if female you must not be currently pregnant or nursing an infant.  If you would like more information or think that you may be eligible for the study, please contact us:
