Our groundbreaking investigations assure that you as a patient have access to neuromuscular clinical trials which:
The Stanford Neuromuscular Biobank collects blood, muscle, and other tissue samples from individuals with neuromuscular disorders for use in research. Sample donors remain anonymous to our researchers and can donate during life or after death. Your family members who do not have a neuromuscular disorder can also donate to help advance research.
Samples are collected with your consent during routine clinic visits and scheduled surgical procedures. The Stanford Neuromuscular Biobank stores the samples and shares them with researchers to help better understand meaningful treatments and how neuromuscular disorders affect the body.
The Stanford Neuromuscular Biobank takes care of all arrangements and any associated costs. To learn more about how you can donate a sample, visit the Neuromuscular Biobank site, send an email to stanfordbiobank@lists.stanford.edu, or call 650-497-9807.
Representatives from Stanford's Neuromuscular Clinic, Neurosciences Department, Rehabilitation, Integrative Medicine, and the new Neuroscience building construction crew all participated in the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge.
Clinical trials are research studies that evaluate a new medical approach, device, drug, or other treatment. As a Stanford Health Care patient, you may have access to the latest, advanced clinical trials.
Open trials refer to studies currently accepting participants. Closed trials are not currently enrolling, but may open in the future.
For your convenience, you may check in for all same-day appointments at the Stanford Neuroscience Health Center through a centralized, check-in desk near the front lobby. In addition to all outpatient services, you also can access onsite pre-surgery consultations at the center.
Appointments are available by physician referral only. Call us to reschedule an appointment or to schedule a follow-up appointment.
To reorder a prescription, have your pharmacy call us directly with your prescription information.

Unfortunately, it is not possible for us to see all patients who are referred to us. We screen all referrals to select those who will benefit the most from a consultation. Also, most of our clinics have a significant waiting period for new consultations. Please provide as much clinical information as possible so our staff may triage the referral to the appropriate sub-specialty clinic.
We recognize that some patients may need consultation sooner than routine scheduling permits. Our doctors are happy to speak with you to facilitate urgent visits on a case-by-case basis.
