At AdventHealth Research Institute, we have a deep-seated passion for enhancing the lives of people grappling with neurological conditions. Our research focuses on conditions any of us might face one day — if not in ourselves, then in the lives of those we love. Finding a cure and treatment for conditions like Alzheimer’s disease and dementia is crucial to healthy aging, and we have dedicated teams pursuing those answers every day.
In addition to cognitive aging diseases, our neuroscience research team also focuses on brain tumors, epilepsy, headaches and migraines, movement disorders, multiple sclerosis, and other neurovascular disorders and strokes. However, we can’t do it alone. Finding these cures relies on people like you who participate in neuroscience research studies.
A Commitment to Brain Health
AdventHealth is committed to pioneering research that could lead to breakthroughs in understanding and treating brain diseases, particularly those that affect cognitive functions such as Alzheimer’s and dementia. These neurodegenerative diseases have a profound impact not just on individuals but on families and communities. The global rise in Alzheimer’s cases has underscored the urgent need for more effective treatments and, ultimately, a cure. At AdventHealth, we are not just treating these conditions; we are on the frontline, seeking to unlock the secrets of the human brain to find new ways to combat these debilitating diseases.
Our research teams are delving into the complexities of Alzheimer’s and dementia, investigating how these diseases develop, progress, and what can be done to halt or slow their progression. Through rigorous clinical trials and studies, we are exploring potential therapies, both pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical, that could offer hope to millions of people worldwide.
Help Unlock the Mystery of the Human Brain
All cures and new treatments are medical breakthroughs which occurred as a result of studies conducted by scientists and doctors. Whether you’re being treated for a diagnosis or have a clean bill of health, research studies can help people at all stages unlock answers to optimal health.
If you participate in a research study, you may have access to groundbreaking therapies not yet available to the public. It’s a unique opportunity to contribute to medical advancements that will benefit future generations, and you’ll get expert care and support from our compassionate and skilled team. Not only that, but you may also receive compensation for your time and travel.

AdventHealth’s Approach to Neuro Research
AdventHealth’s commitment to neuro research goes beyond traditional clinical settings. We are actively involved in cutting-edge research programs focused on finding solutions to cognitive decline in aging populations. Our research includes studying the effectiveness of various treatments, including the latest in pharmaceutical innovations, lifestyle interventions, and technological advancements like neuroimaging and biomarkers that can detect early signs of neurologic conditions.
A significant aspect of our research is the focus on early diagnosis. For example, we know that the earlier Alzheimer’s and dementia are detected, the more effective the treatment can be. AdventHealth is involved in developing and testing new diagnostic tools that can identify these diseases at their earliest stages, sometimes even before symptoms appear. This could revolutionize how we approach treatment, giving patients a better chance at maintaining their quality of life.
The Power of Collaboration
Our efforts are not isolated. AdventHealth collaborates with leading academic institutions and global research networks to accelerate the pace of discovery. By pooling resources and expertise, we are making strides in understanding the complex mechanisms that underlie neurodegenerative diseases.
What Happens in a Neuroscience Research Study?
All participants work closely with our team of research study coordinators, so you’ll always have a guide, support, and someone to answer your questions. They are dedicated to ensuring your seamless experience, from educating you about the process to managing communication and scheduling throughout the study’s duration. They are committed to your care every step of the way.
In the study, we work with leading-edge therapies, medical devices, and bedside techniques to collect the data we need to gain a deeper understanding of neurological conditions and their impact on the brain. Our interdisciplinary team of leading neuroscience physicians, nurses, and researchers spearheads the studies that lead to breakthroughs every day.
Advancements in Alzheimer’s and Dementia Research
AdventHealth’s research in Alzheimer’s and dementia is particularly focused on understanding how these diseases impact the brain’s structure and function. Through advanced neuroimaging techniques, our researchers can observe the brain’s changes over time, providing valuable insights into the progression of these diseases. This research is crucial for developing interventions that can slow or even reverse the cognitive decline associated with Alzheimer’s and dementia.
In addition to clinical trials for new medications, AdventHealth is exploring non-pharmacological approaches to treatment. This includes lifestyle interventions such as diet, exercise, and cognitive training, which have shown promise in reducing the risk of Alzheimer’s and dementia or delaying their onset. By integrating these approaches into our research, we are working towards a holistic understanding of how to maintain brain health throughout life.
A New Kind of Legacy
Medications and treatments affect everyone differently, making health equity paramount. This means people of all backgrounds and identities must have fair opportunities for diagnosis and treatment. By participating in research, you can help to bring personalized treatments and cures to everyone that consider not only race, gender, or socioeconomic status but everything that makes you unique.
Your role in a research study could lead to a medical discovery that changes or saves lives in the future. We invite you to join us in our quest for a future where brain health shines brighter. You, together with our clinical teams in neuroscience, can make a difference in the future of neurological treatments and in the lives of patients.
At AdventHealth, we believe that the legacy of our research is not just in the breakthroughs we achieve but in the lives we touch along the way. Each study, each participant, and each discovery brings us one step closer to a world where cognitive aging diseases are no longer a feared diagnosis but a manageable, treatable condition.
Together, we can blaze a trail for medical breakthroughs that will benefit not just today’s patients but future generations.
