Research into vascular malformations of the brain
Vascular malformations of the brain are rare conditions and our understanding of them is incomplete, so they are an important subject for medical research.
During the course of your treatment, you might be invited to take part in a research study to compare different types of treatment. If you are approached about any studies, they should be fully explained to you and have the approval of the appropriate ethics committee. You are not obliged to take part and can refuse to if you wish.
