Have you ever been curious about what a clinical trial is like? While these studies are essential for developing novel treatments, many people are unaware of their benefits or how they contribute to medical advancements.
At Neurology Diagnostics, Inc., in Dayton, Ohio, Joel Vandersluis, MD, and our team conduct groundbreaking clinical research for neurological conditions like Parkinson’s disease, migraines, multiple sclerosis (MS), and dementia. Our clinical trials offer the opportunity to be part of a potentially life-changing clinical trial for your health problem.
Unsure whether you should participate in a clinical trial? Here are four ways you can benefit:
Clinical trials offer access to new treatments that aren’t available to the public yet. If you’ve tried other treatments without success, a clinical trial allows you to try something new that could make a real difference. It’s an opportunity to find a treatment that works when other options haven’t.
You get more personalized care in a clinical trial than in a typical treatment setting. Medical specialists closely monitor your health, checking in more frequently and tracking how well the treatment works for you. This extra attention helps ensure you get the best care and a clearer understanding of how the treatment impacts your health.
When you join a clinical trial, you help shape the future of medicine. Your participation contributes to developing new treatments, providing data that researchers use to improve therapies for your condition. By being part of the process, you help researchers understand what works and what doesn’t, driving progress in medical care.
Most clinical trials provide free treatments, tests, and doctor visits. This can be a massive relief if you're concerned about medical expenses. You receive cutting-edge care and regular check-ups without the financial burden, making getting the treatment you need easier.
We ensure every patient understands the potential risks of joining a clinical trial before committing. While participating can give you exclusive access to groundbreaking treatments before they’re publicly available, they’re not guaranteed to work for your case. You may also be part of the control group and receive a placebo instead of the actual treatment.
Like all drugs, those used in clinical trials may be associated with side effects. Some of those side effects may not be known to the sponsor of the trial or your doctor.
At Neurology Diagnostics, Inc., we’re happy to answer any questions you have about our open clinical trials. If you think you’re a good fit for our research, call our office or schedule an appointment online.
