EP 88 :: The Importance Of Participating In Dementia Clinical Trials :: Dr. Michelle Papka
Dr. Michelle Papka talks with Bobbi and Mike about the importance clinical trials play in helping to find a cure for dementia and the need for qualifying volunteers to participate in clinical trials.
“It's not funding, money, or other obstacles to finding a cure. It really is people willing to be in a trial, so that's the first thing needed to move the field of dementia research forward,” Dr. Papka says. “We know that people do better when they're in a clinical trial, and it's probably because they are being monitored very, very carefully by a multidisciplinary team of specialists.”
You can sign up for a clinical trial by visiting clinicaltrials.gov. The website is maintained by the U.S. government and lists all the different clinical trials happening across the country.
