Clinical Trials & Research
Over the past 10 years, the Sleep Disorders Center of Alabama has participated in over 50 multi-center clinical trials. The Sleep Disorders Center of Alabama is one of several sleep centers in the United States and, in some instances, other countries that test drugs for safety and usefulness in treating sleep disorders.
Very often the drugs that are being tested are investigational (which means that the only way to try these drugs is to participate in a research study called a clinical trial). The.
The Sleep Disorders Center of Alabama has participated in clinical trials of drugs to treat several sleep disorders such as Insomnia, Narcolepsy, Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Shift Work Sleep Disorder.
Over the years, we have seen several important drugs for treating sleep disorders receive FDA approval and become available for doctors to prescribe for their patients.
The Sleep Disorders Center of Alabama has two (2) Certified Clinical Research Coordinators whose jobs are to make sure that the research studies are performed according to very strict guidelines. They recruit volunteers for the studies and work very closely with them to see that the research volunteers receive the very same excellent care as our regular patients.
We believe that our research activities are very important to our patients and to the community at large. The Sleep Disorders Center of Alabama is on the cutting edge of helping patients with sleep problems not only in diagnosis and treatment, but also in testing potential new treatments for the millions of Americans who suffer from some form of sleep disorder.
