Clinical Research
There are a number of clinical studies being conducted to investigate the safety and efficacy of a new treatment, a melatonin agonist, which resets the internal clock in people with circadian rhythm sleep disorders, including Non-24.

Famous quotes containing the word research:
“Feeling that you have to be the perfect parent places a tremendous and completely unnecessary burden on you. If we’ve learned anything from the past half-century’s research on child development, it’s that children are remarkably resilient. You can make lots of mistakes and still wind up with great kids.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
