Increasingly, much biomedical research is being conducted through the use of human clinical trials. The types of clinical trials available can be found at web sites such as:

https://clinicaltrials.gov/
As a potential participant, what research methods would you wish to know about in advance of volunteering for a trial and why? For example, if you or a family member had a mild cognitive impairment, would you wish to know in advance of the possible drug, diet and/or placebo treatments that you might be exposed to over the course of the trial? Would the length of the trial be important to you? So, how will your knowledge of the research protocol influence your decision to participate or not? Please choose a specific study for a specific health problem. To provide you some confidentiality, yes, you may write this commentary in the third person (he/she) or provide a “case study” name of your own choosing.
