Clinical study involves research using human volunteers (also called participants) that is intended to add to medical are two main types of clinical studies: clinical trials (also called interventional studies) and observational a clinical trial, participants receive specific interventions according to the research plan or protocol created by the interventions may be medical products, such as drugs or devices; procedures; or changes to participants' behavior, such as al trials may compare a new medical approach to a standard one that is already available, to o that contains no active ingredients, or to no intervention.

Procedures as part of their routine medical care, but participants are not assigned to specific interventions by the investigator.

These can include medicines, vaccines, or lifestyle changes, among other ting one or more interventions aimed at identifying or diagnosing a particular disease or ing methods for identifying a condition or the risk factors for that ing and measuring ways to improve the comfort and quality of life through supportive care for people with a chronic ipating in clinical studies.
The protocol is designed to answer specific research questions and safeguard the health of participants. Some research studies seek participants who have the illnesses or conditions that will be studied, other studies are looking for healthy participants, and some studies are limited to a predetermined group of people who are asked by researchers to ility. They are based on characteristics such as age, gender, the type and stage of a disease, previous treatment history, and other medical are participants protected? Consent is a process used by researchers to provide potential and enrolled participants with information about a clinical study.
See the questions to ask section on this page for questions to ask a health care provider or researcher about participating in a clinical utional review boards. Each federally supported or conducted clinical study and each study of a drug, biological product, or medical device regulated by fda must be reviewed, approved, and monitored by an institutional review board (irb). This includes making sure that research risks are minimized and are reasonable in relation to any potential benefits, among other responsibilities. The irb also reviews the informed consent addition to being monitored by an irb, some clinical studies are also monitored monitoring committees (also called data safety and monitoring boards).
Federal agencies, including the office of human subjects research protection and fda, have the authority to determine whether sponsors of certain clinical studies are adequately protecting research onship to usual health lly, participants continue to see their usual health care providers while enrolled in a clinical study. While most clinical studies provide participants with medical products or interventions related to the illness or condition being studied, they do not provide extended or complete health care. By having his or her usual health care provider work with the research team, a participant can make sure that the study protocol will not conflict with other medications or treatments that he or she erations for ipating in a clinical study contributes to medical knowledge. The results of these studies can make a difference in the care of future patients by providing information about the benefits and risks of therapeutic, preventative, or diagnostic products or al trials provide the basis for the development and marketing of new drugs, biological products, and medical devices.
Some trials may provide participants with the prospect of receiving direct medical benefits, while others do not. Most trials involve some risk of harm or injury to the participant, although it may not be greater than the risks related to routine medical care or disease progression. A potential participant should also discuss these issues with members of the research team and with his or her usual health care interested in participating in a clinical study should know as much as possible about the study and feel comfortable asking the research team questions about the study, the related procedures, and any expenses. 2016 nov 7;18(11): use of social media in recruitment for medical research studies: a scoping vec-vranic j1,2, natarajan information1li ka shing knowledge institute, st michael's hospital, toronto, on, canada.
Of occupational science and occupational therapy, university of toronto, toronto, on, ctbackground: recruiting an adequate number of participants into medical research studies is challenging for many researchers. Consequently, social media websites are a new, powerful method for recruiting participants into such ive: the objective was to answer the following questions: (1) is the use of social media more effective at research participant recruitment than traditional methods? 2) does social media recruit a sample of research participants comparable to that recruited via other methods? Using the medline, psycinfo, and embase databases, all medical research studies that used social media and at least one other method for recruitment were identified.
The social media sites used in recruitment were identified, and if a study stated that the target population was "difficult to reach" as identified by the authors of the study, this was s: out of 30 studies, 12 found social media to be the most effective recruitment method, 15 did not, and 3 found social media to be equally effective as another recruitment method. Of the 12 studies that found social media to be the best recruitment method, 8 were observational studies while 4 were interventional studies. Of the 15 studies that did not find social media to be the best recruitment method, 7 were interventional studies while 8 were observational studies. In total, 8 studies stated that the target population was "hard-to-reach," and 6 of these studies found social media to be the most effective recruitment method.
Out of 14 studies that reported demographic data for participants, 2 studies found that social media recruited a sample comparable to that recruited via traditional methods and 12 did not. Out of 13 studies that reported cost-effectiveness, 5 studies found social media to be the most cost-effective recruitment method, 7 did not, and 1 study found social media equally cost-effective as compared with other sions: only 12 studies out of 30 found social media to be the most effective recruitment method. There is evidence that social media can be the best recruitment method for hard-to-reach populations and observational studies. With only 30 studies having compared recruitment through social media with other methods, more studies need to be done that report the effectiveness of recruitment for each strategy, demographics of participants recruited, and cost-effectiveness of each ds: internet; intervention study; observational study; patient selection; social media; social networkingpmid: 27821383 pmcid: pmc5118584 doi: 10.
