Miss Julie

Research is a singular noun, so it would be "has."  

JustKate

It's has - research is (usually) an uncountable noun.  

"has" As it is an uncountable noun and it can be replaced with "it" it has shown that cycling can help patients overcome their illnesses --> Not it have shown  

Thank you all.
