Clinical trials are research studies that explore medical strategies, treatments or devices and determine if they are safe and effective for human use. The studies performed may also show which medical approaches work best for certain illnesses or groups of people. Clinical trials produce information that helps patients and their healthcare providers make better health-related decisions.
By participating in clinical trials, you help accelerate medical science by providing valuable insights into potential treatments and methods of prevention. Participants with an illness or disease participate to help others but also to possibly receive the newest treatment and to have the additional care and attention from the clinical trial staff.
