What are the benefits of joining your clinical trials?

What are clinical trials?

Clinical trials are investigations into medical procedures, studies of behavior, interventions of medical products (drugs or procedures) used to find new and innovative ways to help treat, manage, and cure illness. Each clinical study has a control method, which is usually something that is already common practice. However, clinical studies do run the risk of discovering methods that do not work and may cause patients harm. The ultimate goal is to have human beings participate in these studies in order to advance the world of medicine. All participants must agree to be a part of the research and meet all criteria necessary for a successful trial.

Clinical trial teams are usually led by a medical doctor with a research team made up of other doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals. The length of time a clinical study is revealed to participants before they sign on, but varies depending on what is being studied. Clinical studies can be a couple of hours, weeks, months, or even years depending on what the doctors and researchers are looking to discover. 

What are the benefits of me joining a clinical trial?

Most medical treatments and procedures have gone through clinical testing, whether you know about it or not. When you see advertisements for prescription drugs and they list all the possible side effects, those were gathered from participants of clinical studies. If you notice a change in surgical equipment over the years, those tools and ones like it likely have been used to create the best possible engineering for that particular surgery based on clinical trials..

By participating, you not only help future patients but can also find new procedures and medicines that might work for you. Without clinical trials and people willing to participate, we would not advance in medicine the way we have been so quickly.
