About Clinical Trials
Clinical Trials
Clinical trials are deliberate processes in research studies which are used by researchers to test medical, surgical, or behavioral intervention in people.
This involves studying both health and sickness in people; Also, administering new medication to test safety and effectiveness. These trials open new doors for the researchers as well by helping them find innovative ways to diagnose, prevent, treat, and cure diseases.
Clinical research has a policy called the informed consent which protects the volunteers; this process educates them on the key facts about a study before deciding on whether or not they want to participate. A variety of healthy people studies are also conducted as well as the sick people study, which means one does not always have to be diagnosed with anything to qualify for a clinical trial.
Enrolling in a clinical research study has many potential benefits and also some possible risks. However, with the well-being of the subject being priority, all necessary treatment and follow-ups will be conducted frequently throughout the duration of the study. Once a subject has qualified for a study, their medical history will be obtained, all patient information is kept confidential. Participants can withdraw from a study at any given time and for any reason.

Potential risk and benefits that come with enrolling in a clinical trial includes
Benefits
● Access to new drugs
● Free medical services
● Compensation for time and travel
●Participants can help others by contributing to knowledge about new treatments and products.
●At the end of each study, the physician will discuss subject’s progress as well as their follow-up requirements.
Risk
● Most clinical trials pose the risk of minor discomfort, which often lasts only a short time. However, some study participants experience complications that require medical attention. In rare cases, participants have experienced serious or life-threatening complications resulting from their participation in trials of experimental treatments.
● The study may require more time and attention than standard treatment would, including visits to the study site, more blood tests, more procedures, hospital stays, or complex dosage schedules.
