There are some possible risks associated with being in a clinical trial, such as the new treatment having unknown side effects or failing to work for you even if it helps others.

Informed consent is a way to protect participants in clinical studies by providing them with information about the risks, benefits, and alternatives to participation. The process should be understandable for those involved and provide enough detail so that individuals can make an informed decision, while protecting them from any possible harm or inconvenience that may come as a result of their participation.

People must sign an informed consent document before joining any study in order to demonstrate that they have been given all the information necessary and understand it. This document does not create a contract, so participants are free to withdraw from any study at any time, even if it is still ongoing.

At our research clinic, we value and appreciate the participation of our study participants and understand that their time and effort are valuable. Therefore, we offer financial compensation for participating in our clinical studies. The amount and type of compensation may vary depending on the particular study and are established in advance in the informed consent.
