NINDS Seeks Newly Diagnosed Parkinson's Disease Patients

Investigators at the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and
Stroke (NINDS) are seeking newly diagnosed Parkinson's disease patients for
a neuroprotective trial involving a new free radical scavenger drug aimed
at stopping the progression of the disease. The study will be a two year
outpatient trial requiring quarterly visits to the NIH in Bethesda, MD, and
more frequent safety visits to a local physician.

I wonder how long it will take researchers to determine that Parkinson's is a
disease that exists outside the beltway?

Grants should also include expenses for the researchers to go to the patients
where ever they may be.
