Is there a designated place to learn about research studies?

As a family caregiver and a professional caregiver - and stroke researcher! - wondering if there is a repository for research studies. I’m part of one that is offering arm / hand rehab via telehealth, but I know people who want to work on cog or speech or other body parts.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Stroke & Cerebrovascular Diseases Support Group.

The following websites are my go-to places when looking for research or clinical trials,

National Library of Medicine
Publications: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/
Clinical Trials: https://clinicaltrials.gov/

Mayo Clinic
https://www.mayo.edu/research/clinical-trials
Another option is to ask the provider if they are aware of any research.

Another option is: https://scholar.google.com/schhp
It searches a pretty wide variety of research websites.

@roch thank you so much! I have saved the information!

At present I am enrolled in a clinical trial for Bimzelx injections to treat my psoriasis, but that was possible only because my dermatologist happens to work at a clinic where they do clinical studies for dermatology. I have had psoriasis for many years and had never heard of clinical trials before this.
