What to expect

Your next step

The official record suggests in-person participation through a hospital, with sites including Sheppart Pratt Health System in Towson. Participation appears to involve a study treatment together with follow-up visits and routine safety or progress checks. The main fit is usually being able to understand the study and consent and matching the main diagnosis, while common reasons not to take part include active substance or alcohol problems that could affect the results. This is an early-stage study, which usually means a smaller group and a focus on learning how the approach behaves.
