The Clinical Research Center is happy to announce that a new video has been posted to the Clinical Research web page. This is a companion video to the one posted last March.
The Clinical Research Center was thrilled with the March video. It featured two patients who personally experienced improved health as a result of participation in a clinical study. We enjoyed sharing the patient experiences as study volunteers because both responded well to the study treatments and were able to get back to doing activities they had been forced to curtail. We love a happy ending!
The new video features research patients who were motivated as volunteers, not to improve their own health, but to improve the health of others – true Medical Heroes! One patient participated in our research vaccine clinical trial to prevent C. diff, which took the life of a friend. So, the opportunity to participate in a study that might lead to prevention of C. diff was an easy decision for this research volunteer. The second patient featured in the new video had personally experienced a severe health crisis – and had achieved a stunning recovery. This volunteer was grateful for the medical science that literally saved her life and welcomed the chance to give back to the medical community.
We are currently looking for study volunteers who have Type 2 Diabetes, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), Moderate/Severe Asthma, very high serum triglyceride levels, and difficulty walking after experiencing a stroke. Our slate of clinical trials changes often but is always up to date on the Clinical Research web page. Or, follow us on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/corvallisclinicresearch.
People are motivated to participate in clinical trials for lots of good reasons. What’s yours? Contact the Clinical Research Center at 541-766-2163 or send an email to research@corvallisclinic.com.
