Research Initiatives

Collaborative research initiatives are essentially critical to identifying the cause, cure, and prevention of sarcoidosis. Enhanced methodologies and protocols are necessary in the effective diagnosis and treatment of patients. The holistic treatment of patients and educational components should be considered in terms of quality of life issues and the emotional and mental impact the disease has on patients. This approach allows patients the opportunity to consider lifestyle choices that can be made, and actions that can be taken to increase their survival rate, improved outcomes in the management of the disease, and an overall healthier life.

NIH Clinical Research Trials and You

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has created a website, NIH Clinical Research Trials and You, to help people learn about clinical trials, why they matter, and how to participate. The site includes questions and answers about clinical trials, guidance on how to find clinical trials through ClinicalTrials.gov and other resources, and stories about the personal experiences of clinical trial participants. Clinical trials are necessary to find better ways to prevent, diagnose, and treat diseases.
