The National Institutes of Health (NIH) conducts clinical research trials for a variety of diseases and conditions, including cancer, Alzheimer's disease, allergies, infectious diseases, and neurological disorders.
To help the public and healthcare professionals find relevant clinical trials, NIH maintains ClinicalTrials.gov, a searchable registry and results database of federally and privately supported trials conducted in the United States and worldwide. The resource provides information on each trial’s purpose, eligibility criteria, locations, and contact details. Listing on the site does not imply federal evaluation or endorsement.
The NIH Clinical Center, located on the NIH campus in Bethesda, Maryland, hosts a wide range of studies addressing rare diseases, chronic health issues, and healthy volunteer research. Studies there can be searched by diagnosis, signs, symptoms, or keywords.
Additionally, ResearchMatch is an NIH-funded, free, and secure registry connecting individuals interested in volunteering for studies with researchers seeking participants. This initiative helps facilitate public involvement in clinical research that may lead to healthcare advancements.
Individuals are encouraged to consult their healthcare providers to understand the benefits and risks before participating in clinical trials.
