Leaders in Integrative Medicine Research and Discovery
At UCLA Health, we are committed to advancing integrative medicine research. We are at the forefront of the latest innovations in the field, and we apply our findings to offer the highest quality care to our patients. We encourage you to learn more about our clinical trials and research programs.
Participate in a Clinical Trial
Our team pioneers many clinical trials aimed at enhancing the whole-person care we provide. Clinical trials and research studies are vital to helping us understand health conditions and treatments. These studies evaluate therapies that address a range of health concerns while promoting overall wellness. Findings from clinical trials help us advance breakthroughs in treatments and improve existing therapies.
As a UCLA Health patient, you may be eligible to participate in a clinical trial or research study.
Doing so can give you early access to innovative and effective therapies. If you’re interested in participating, we invite you to learn more. Browse open integrative medicine clinical trials below or explore all clinical trials.

Our Integrative Medicine Research Programs
As nationwide leaders in integrative medicine research, we offer several research programs. Our team examines the mind-body connection, aging, whole-health therapies and more.
UCLA Center for Cannabis and Cannabinoids
The UCLA Center for Cannabis and Cannabinoids is one of the first academic programs dedicated to the multidisciplinary study of cannabis. More than half a century of research restrictions and limited funding have contributed to a lack of scientific knowledge about cannabis, particularly regarding its therapeutic use.
As an increasing number of patients turn to cannabis, UCLA is committed to discovering how to maximize its therapeutic potential while minimizing potential health risks. The mission of the UCLA Center for Cannabis and Cannabinoids is to advance scientific understanding of the impact of cannabis on the body, brain, mind and society. To achieve this mission, we engage in cannabis research, as well as education and discourse across various disciplines. Our work impacts health care providers, policymakers and the public.
UCLA Norman Cousins Center for Psychoneuroimmunology
The Norman Cousins Center for Psychoneuroimmunology explores the connections between the mind and body. Our mission is to understand the role of psychological well-being in health and recovery from illness. We also aim to translate this knowledge into effective mind-body practices (e.g., mindful awareness, meditation, tai chi) that prevent disease and promote healing.
Through our community and global educational platforms, we foster mindful awareness across a person’s lifespan to promote well-being and a more compassionate society.
The UCLA Late-Life Mood, Stress, and Wellness Research Program
The UCLA Late-Life Mood, Stress, and Wellness Research Program provides state-of-the-art stress, mood, cognitive, genetic, and brain scanning assessments. We also offer opportunities to volunteer for clinical studies, including antidepressant and mind-body interventions, such as tai chi, yoga and meditation.
