When it comes to our health, these four affect our community the most:
Parkinson’s is a progressive nervous system disorder that primarily affects movement. It develops gradually, often starting with a barely noticeable tremor in one hand. Beyond tremors, people may experience stiffness, slowed movement, balance problems, and changes in speech or writing. Though there’s no cure, early diagnosis and treatment can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
Alzheimer’s is the most common form of dementia, marked by memory loss, confusion, and difficulty with thinking and problem-solving. It slowly affects parts of the brain that control thought, memory, and language, eventually interfering with daily tasks. While there is no cure, understanding the disease and accessing support can make a significant difference for individuals and their families.
Dementia is a general term for the decline in cognitive ability severe enough to interfere with daily life. It affects memory, reasoning, communication, and even personality. Alzheimer’s is the leading cause, but there are many types. Early detection and support are key to helping individuals maintain independence and dignity for as long as possible.
Chronic migraines are intense, recurring headaches that occur 15 or more days a month, often accompanied by nausea, sensitivity to light or sound, and visual disturbances. These aren’t just “bad headaches”—they can be debilitating and impact quality of life. Identifying triggers and working with a healthcare provider on treatment options can help manage their frequency and severity.
When we are not included in clinical research, we can’t be sure if a treatment will work just as well or be just as safe for us as it will for other races.
By participating in clinical research, we can give ourselves a chance to have treatments that may work better and be safer for us.
Learning more about clinical research can be a critical step in improving health outcomes for future generations.
If you still have questions, you are not alone.
