Specialist. He has been involved in the Sleep Medicine field
since the early 1980’s. We conduct research studies
at both the Houston and Katy Locations. Participation in these

Clinical
Research Experience
Dr. Swick has conducted over 30 clinical trials in Neurology
and Sleep Medicine. We have a dedicated, full-time Clinical
Research Department staffed by Certified Research Coordinators
and Certified Nurse Practitioners with Investigator Research
training.
We have many years of experience in
treating patients with neurological disorders including Alzheimer’s
Disease, Parkinson’s Disease, migraines, and epilepsy.
Additionally, our research includes sleep disorders such as
insomnia as well as adult and pediatric studies
for narcolepsy and obstructive sleep apnea. We take pride
in our diligence to Good Clinical Practices and adherence
to FDA regulations.
Participation
Clinical Research studies have specific guidelines stipulating
who can participate. Factors that allow someone to participate
in a research study are called inclusion/exclusion criteria.
In addition to inclusion/exclusion, a research professional
will take a medical history from you to determine your eligibility.
It is important that you be honest when disclosing current
and past health problems, as this information is used to identify
appropriate candidates and keep them safe. Anyone entering
a clinical trial is required to sign a consent form indicating
that they understand what will happen to them during the study.
