Hardly any other area of medicine has undergone such lasting change in the last 20 years as neurology. Clinical research has made it possible for numerous new and highly effective therapy options to be made available for the treatment of strokes.

Our aim is to further improve the care of stroke patients and to test new forms of therapy. The "Vascular Neurology Study Centre" provides the spatial and personnel infrastructure for this and is the central unit for the coordination, organisation and implementation of clinical stroke studies in the Department of Neurology at the Neurological Clinic of Heidelberg University.

In particular, there is very close cooperation with the Departments of Neuroradiology and the Clinics for Neurosurgery and Vascular Surgery as well as with the Coordination Centre for Clinical Studies Heidelberg (KKS).

It goes without saying that all legal standards for conducting clinical trials are observed. In order to ensure the necessary quality when conducting studies, all participating investigators and employees receive regular internal and external training.
