Research come in many forms. Some may require you to speak to them about your experience, others may require meetings with medical professionals or taking part in focus groups.
How can I take part in clinical trials?
The best way to take part in a clinical trial is through your neurologist or Huntington's disease specialist. They will be able to advise you on which trials you may be suitable for.
There are also websites where you can see what trials there are:
