Complex neurological conditions have complex recruitment barriers

Neurological conditions impact 1 in 3 people worldwide, but recruiting the right patient remains challenging: 

  • Neurological disease progression can halve patient eligibility windows 
  • 40% of otherwise eligible patients are excluded due to lacking a caregiver 
  • Frequent delayed diagnoses in neurological conditions 

Clariness combines 20 years of neurological enrollment expertise with proven strategies to find your patients.

Neurology case study

Spotlight: Clariness achieves 166% randomization vs. target in Alzheimer’s disease study

Project overview:

  • 3-month Alzheimer’s recruitment campaign across 40 sites in 5 countries (AU, DE, PL, KR, UK) 
  • Strict I/E criteria requiring a positive PET & low RBAN score screened out 50% of patients 
  • Our approach included targeted online recruitment, multilingual pre-screening by phone and online, and active site support 

Our results:

  • 166% randomizations vs. target
  • 1,740 pre-screened referrals in 3 months
  • 36% saved cost per randomization via ClinLife®

What do our clients & patients say?

  • "We are very satisfied with Clariness’ support. In a previous study, we worked with another vendor who provided less qualified pts. The study doctor responsible for screening expressed high satisfaction with the quality of our referrals. Also several pts shared positive feedback about Clariness' communication and notification process. ClinLife® portal is very user-friendly and effective."

  • "ClinLife® has been excellent at fine-tuning the pre-screening process to maintain patient quality and preventing circumvention. In our previous IM meeting, other sites shared that their experience with ClinLife® has been very positive."

Neurology FAQs

How many neurology indications does Clariness support?

Clariness supports recruitment across a wide range of neurology indications, including Alzheimer’s disease, migraine, multiple sclerosis, pain, fibromyalgia, insomnia, Parkinson’s disease, restless leg syndrome, schizophrenia, memory loss, sleep disorder, bladder pain syndrome, complex regional pain syndrome, and many others.

Neurology clinical trials often involve complex I/E criteria, progressive diseases, and lengthy diagnostic pathways. Additionally, cognitive impairment may limit a patient’s ability to complete self-screening, and many neurology studies (particularly in Alzheimer’s disease) require enrollment of a patient-caregiver pair. Clariness addresses these challenges through protocol-specific recruitment strategies, caregiver-inclusive recruitment pathways, and two-step pre-screening to identify the right participants before referral. 

Neurology studies often have complex inclusion and exclusion criteria based on disease stage, diagnostic testing, imaging, biomarkers, and cognitive assessments. Clariness conducts protocol-specific secondary pre-screening to validate key eligibility criteria before referral, improving referral quality and reducing unnecessary site workload.

Many Neurological conditions require both the patient and a caregiver to participate in the recruitment process. Our Creatives team creates caregiver-inclusive recruitment campaigns with patient-friendly branding, educational materials, and clear study journey information that help patient-caregiver pairs understand the trial, build confidence, and make informed decisions about participation.  

Neurology clinical trials can involve complex procedures, lengthy study durations, and multiple assessments that may be unfamiliar to participants and caregivers. Our Creatives team develops patient-friendly educational materials and study journey information that help participants understand what to expect, build confidence, and support informed participation.
