Our affiliation with Southeastern New England's largest Academic Medical Centers allows us to draw patients from Rhode Island, Eastern Massachusetts, and Connecticut. Community based services such as "Memory and Cognitive Disorders Assessment Service" offer the most comprehensive clinic in the region for evaluation of memory loss.


Neurology

We have a network of independent, private practice neurology, psychiatry and pain centers located in Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Connecticut . Through this network, CNS Research has established in-depth knowledge of the independent sites, patient access, capabilities, staffing, experience, etc. Through an established communication infrastructure based on a virtual private network, we have electronic databases that carry detailed information as to the sites' current profile, including current electronic CVs for each physician and each coordinator. We have a track record with each site across all CNS, psychiatric and pain disease areas. We have historical knowledge as to patient recruitment techniques that are appropriate and successful in the local community in which the site is located. All this information results in CNS Research's ability to start studies quicker and complete studies as scheduled or ahead of our competition.
