Clinical Trials

Mayo Clinic offers a variety of clinical trials that are open for enrollment to participants who want to volunteer for research studies exploring diseases of the ear, nose and throat and advancing head and neck surgery.

Part of Mayo Clinic's commitment to its patients involves conducting medical research that can help people live longer, healthier lives.
