I've completed 2 drug trials. I applied for 2 others but was disapproved during pre-screening because I didn't meet the criteria for the trial. One of those kinda ticked me off because I spent an entire night away from home wearing a portable heart monitor only to be turned down for the trial.

These trials can be difficult. They're not for the faint of heart. They are by definition experimental.

I really don't know what I'd recommend to improve the recruitment numbers. But I do know that I am personally compelled to do be a part of a program that is trying to make my life (and that of others) more bearable.
