Volunteering for a trial enables the advancement of medicine, making new treatments available for your future family. Who knows when a study could be the one in which a cure is discovered!?

New drugs could enable future generations of patients to live more easily or even wipe out a disease altogether! The potential implications of taking part in a clinical trial are a major reason why so many people take part.
4. Because their Physician Advises it Oftentimes, people get involved in clinical trials on the advice of their physician. Your doctor will most likely recommend a trial because of the potential for you to access new treatment. They have a responsibility to put your health and wellbeing first, and so you can be sure that they can be trusted if they believe participating in a trial could be of benefit to you.
5. Because Clinical Trials need Participants from all Backgrounds Clinical Research is a complex and thorough process, and trials often require highly specific criteria of their participants. Many trials require people with rare conditions and from diverse backgrounds, ages, and ethnicities. Obviously, not everyone who volunteers for a trial will be eligible, and a significant number of trials fail to get started because they could not recruit enough patients. Therefore, for the sake of medical advancement, it’s important that as many people as possible volunteer for clinical research.
