Other research studies need healthy volunteers with no previous health conditions. This provides important medical information to researchers by helping them compare how healthy people differ medically from those who have a specific disease.
Who can participate in a Clinical Trial?
The choice to participate in a clinical trial is very personal and entirely voluntary. If you find a trial you might qualify for, contact the research staff to get as much information about the trial and talk to your doctor to weigh the benefits against the risks.
