Providence Health Partners — Center for Clinical Research
Every day, research uncovers new information about medical conditions and possible treatments. Volunteering to participate in a clinical research study is one way you can contribute to the understanding of diseases and the development of new therapies. At the Providence Health Partners—Center for Clinical Research, clinical studies help eligible participants to:
• Play an active role in their health care.
• Gain access to new research treatments before they are widely available.
• Help others by contributing to medical research.
Because it is part of the Providence Medical Group, the Center and its operations are managed by the same physicians you entrust with your family's health care.
• Do you experience Absence Seizures, Essential Tremor, Parkinson’s Disease Tremor or Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder?
You could be eligible for a new online clinical trial!
- The trial consists of just one 60-minute recorded telephone interview.
- No travel is required.
- You will be compensated for your time.
To see if you qualify for this new study, please phone 937-297-8999 or email research@provmedgroup.com
The ethical and legal codes that govern medical practice also apply to clinical trials. In addition, most clinical research is federally regulated with built in safeguards to protect the participants. The trial follows a carefully controlled protocol, a study plan which details what researchers will do in the study.
