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.

COPD 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.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is one of the most common lung diseases. It makes it difficult to breathe.
There are two main forms of COPD:
-
Chronic bronchitis, which involves a long-term cough with mucus
-
Emphysema, which involves destruction of the lungs over time
Most people with COPD have a combination of both conditions.
Join CITrials today in the research and development of COPD by participating in a study. Your participation in a clinincal trial could help in the development of new medical treatments for this disorder.
Common symptoms of COPD:
-
Cough, with or without mucus
-
Fatigue
-
Many respiratory infections
-
Shortness of breath (dyspnea) that gets worse with mild activity
-
Trouble catching one's breath
-
Wheezing
Because the symptoms of COPD develop slowly, some people may not know that they are sick.
