Frequently Asked Questions

Paris Brain Institute is a research centre, not a care centre. For any medical question, in connection with your attending physician or your neurologist, if you wish to make an appointment for a consultation, we invite you to contact directly the neurology department of the Pitié-Salpêtrière hospital, by telephone at 01 42 17 62 05 or by email at the following address : consultation.neuro-departement@aphp.fr.

Thank you for inviting us to participate in the research being conducted at Paris Brain Institute.

If you do wish to participate in clinical trials, or research protocols conducted at the Institute, you must apply to your attending physician or specialist if you are being monitored specifically.

It is the doctors who, having a detailed knowledge of their patient’s situation and having access to the list of clinical trials in progress at national level, determine whether you can incorporate a trial protocol in progress.

No application can be made directly to Paris Brain Institute.
