Clinical trials are research studies that can determine whether new treatments, procedures, and examinations are safe and effective. All participants in clinical trials are volunteers who want to help physicians find new and better ways for health care. If you choose to be included in a clinical trial, you can play a more active role in your own health care and have access to new research treatments before they are available to the general public. Plus you gain a sense of well-being by helping doctors find new medications, treatments and possibly cures that can help other people.
