What is Dementia?
Dementia is a general term (not a specific disease) that describes a group of symptoms which negatively impacts memory severe enough to interfere with daily life.
Alzheimer’s is the most common form of dementia with 60-80% of cases, while Vascular Dementia is the second most common dementia type. Nevertheless, there are many other conditions that cause symptoms of dementia. As opposed to Alzheimer’s, some forms of dementia are reversible.

Why should I participate in a clinical trial?
About clinical trials
Clinical trials are the backbone of modern medicine!
Without them, there are no further advancements in
medicine. Clinical trials are a crucial step in testing
the safety and effectiveness of new treatments,
diagogstic methods, devices or surgical procedures
for a wide range of health conditions. And, they can
also research methods for improving the quality of
life for people who live with chronic illnesses.
What should I expect?
When deciding to join a clinical trial, there are usually a range of benefits, but also risks. Generally, you should consider time commitment of a clinical trials (how many visits are required?), reimbursements for
your travel and time (cash/vouchers), and understand
the risks. Please keep in mind that you're not a "guinea
pig" and only in very rare cases volunteers may
experience side effects that require medical attention.
Don't forget: you will also help others through
participating and help yourself as you're getting access
to the latest treatments methods before others.
Why are clinical trials important?
Without clinical trials, there won't be better treatment
options, no better ways to diagnose illnesses, or even
better ways to prevent illnesses altogether! Clinical
trials help researchers to understand if new drugs,
treatments, devices or diagnostic methods work in
the way they should and are safe. When you decide
to participate in a clinical trial, there will be a whole
care team who cares about your health and
wellbeing. And unlike popular belief, you won't be
treated as a "guinea pig".

public and you may be helping millions of
other patients. Why? Because clinical trials
are the only way to bring often live-saving
treatments to market! Be a hero!

When my mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's I felt like the whole world was collapsing.
My sister and I were splitting caregiver duties for her, but it was still a lot of physical and mental stress. I heard about a clinical study that was researching caregiver burden and increasing the quality of life of family caregivers.
Participating in that study was a blessing. I learned so much about selfceare and I am still benefitting from the study even one year after completion.

As many men my age, I was struggling with decreasing testosterone levels and everything that entails this condition: mood changes, hair loss, weight gain. I felt tired all day, and tried many conventional things and therapies but nothing worked. I decided to participate in a clinical trial, mostly because I was desperate. I was able to try new cutting-edge treatments. What can I say? I got my live back and finally feel myself again.
