Clinical Research Trials
Gastro Florida offers clinical research trials in which volunteers participate and receive a trial treatment for a particular condition while under supervision. There are multiple advantages for participating in a clinical research trial. They include:
- Access to the latest treatments before they are widely available
- Therapeutic options when other methods have not worked
- Playing an active role in your health care
- Help others by contributing to science and research
- Research may lead to better treatment of their condition
- No monetary cost to the patient
