Clinical Studies – Medical Research Studies – Carrollton, TX*

We offer several clinical studies at our family practice in Carrollton, TX. A clinical study is an organized medical research investigation that works to better understand medicine, a medical strategy, or device to determine its safety and efficiency on humans. Typically, a panel of medical professionals will lead and oversee the study. Individuals can volunteer to participate in the study as long as they meet the specific medical requirements.
