Benefits of Participating in a Clinical Trial
Volunteering for clinical trials can be beneficial. If you’re accepted into a study, you’ll usually receive blood work, treatment medications, and clinical monitoring which are usually provided free of charge. Clinical trials also give participants the opportunity to potentially benefit from the latest advances in medical science.
Below, are some of the benefits of participating in a clinical trial:
- Access to new treatments: You can try a pre-regulatory approved drug.
- Dedicated care: You’ll receive more attentive care from the research team, who are dedicated to monitoring your health and keeping you safe, than you would at a normal doctor’s office or health clinic.
- Contributing to science and medicine: Many participants in clinical trials often report feeling good knowing that they are helping to find new therapies and cures that would benefit others who are suffering from the same disease.
