Skip navigation

Question: How do I find the most current research information on my disease/medical condition?

Answer:

To find the most current research information on a disease or medical condition you can use MEDLINE.
On most health topics pages, there are links to at least one MEDLINE search.
- The link will take you to a page that will list titles of research articles on the health topic, using a system called PubMed.
- The information retrieved will be current -- the last 6 months to 2 years, depending on the topic.
