Tucson's mild winter climate brings significant numbers of elderly subjects with the attendant pain and neurological disorders to our site for studies. Additionally, many subjects with other non-age-related neurological disorders find Tucson a convenient place to live due to the lack of extreme cold or wet conditions here.
The greater Tucson area is home to over 1 million people who are approximately 60% Caucasian, 30% Hispanic, 3% African American, and 3% Asian.
