WHAT IS A CLINICAL RESEARCH TRIAL?
Clinical trial, Clinical protocol, Clinical study. They all mean the same thing--a scientific study to test the effectiveness of a new treatment or medication in people.
Those who volunteer benefit from knowing they have helped to advance medical research into new treatments and often receive compensation for their time and effort. It is a possibility that the new drug or treatment being tested works better than ones currently offered to the public, as well.
Research is the number one method in uncovering new information about diseases and therapies.
Your participation in a clinical trial could help in the development of new medical treatments for these disorders.
Clinical Trials & Clinical study
Alzheimers Clinical Trials
You may be able to participate in a clinical trial. You can contact our office to schedule an appointment. Our clinical staff will provide a free evaluation; discuss how clinical trials work, what would be involved if you were to participate, and if participating in this study would be an option. Call our office at 866-786-6478 or CLICK ON "Participate In This Clinical Trial" Button and complete the form.
Dementia is a loss of brain function that occurs with certain diseases. Alzheimer's disease (AD), is one form of dementia that gradually gets worse over time. It affects memory, thinking, and behavior.
Join CITrials today in the research and development of Alzheimers by participating in a study. Your participation in a clinincal trial could help in the development of new medical treatments for this disorder.
You are more likely to get Alzheimer's disease (AD) if you:
-
Are older. However, developing AD is not a part of normal aging.
-
Have a close blood relative, such as a brother, sister, or parent with AD.
-
Have certain genes linked to AD, such as APOE epsilon4 allele
The following may also increase your risk, although this is not well proven:
-
Being female
-
Having high blood pressure for a long time
-
History of head trauma
There are two types of AD:
-
Early onset AD: Symptoms appear before age 60. This type is much less common than late onset. However, it tends to get worse quickly. Early onset disease can run in families. Several genes have been identified.
-
Late onset AD: This is the most common type. It occurs in people age 60 and older. It may run in some families, but the role of genes is less clear.
The cause of AD is not clear. Your genes and environmental factors seem to play a role. Aluminum, lead, and mercury in the brain is no longer believed to be a cause of AD.
