Default Participation in Clinical Trials

Did you know that fewer than 1% of people with PD participate in clinical trials? That is scary because all new treatments must go through clinical trials before they get to us. Scientists are having trouble finding people to join trials. And the longer it takes to find participants, the longer it takes for us to get new treatments.

You can find listings of clinical trials on:
clinicaltrials.gov
and
PDTrials.org

And you can read all about clinical trials here:
PDPipeline.org

And yes, I have participated in clinical trials -- 5 in the past 3 years, 2 are on-going. I'm doing my part - how about you?
