RESEARCH

The Sydenham’s Chorea Association is keen to support best practice in the diagnosis and treatment of Sydenham’s chorea (SC) by encouraging research. Although it has been known for hundreds of years, there is still a need for better scientific evidence. SC is now rare in many countries but still has a serious impact on population health in some regions.
