Benefits and Risks
As with most healthcare treatments, there are both benefits
and risks to every clinical trial. At Pensacola Research Consultants,
we strive to ensure that all risks are minimized to keep our
volunteers healthy and safe.
Benefits
Some of the benefits in participating in a clinical trial are:
- Take an active role in your own healthcare.
- Gain access to new treatments that are not available to the
public.
- Obtain expert medical care at leading healthcare facilities
during the trial.
- Help others by contributing to medical research.
- If you qualify you may receive compensation for participating.
Risks
The risks associated with clinical trials may include:
- There may be side effects or adverse reactions to medications
or treatments.
- The treatment may not be effective for you.
- The protocol may require a lot of your time for trips to
the study site, treatments, hospital stays, or complex dosage
requirements.
