Why Partipate in Research?
Choosing to take part in clinical research is an important personal decision.

People participate in research for several reasons:
Some hope to get the most advanced treatment available for headache disorders.
Others participate because they receive the investigational drugs at no cost
BENEFITS AND RISK ANALYSIS
Benefits of Enrolling in a Study
Taking part in a clinical study has numerous benefits. People choose to participate for different reasons. Here is a comprehensive list of reasons to consider participation.
✅ Treatment with experimental or study medications is not widely available elsewhere.
✅ Care from a research team that includes doctors and other health care professionals who are familiar with the most advanced treatments available.
✅ Treatment that has been reviewed by many people, including other doctors and researchers.
✅ Research-related care or medicine at no cost.
✅ The opportunity to learn more about an illness and how to take care of it.
✅ The satisfaction of helping others by contributing to medical knowledge, or helping to identify possible new treatments.
Risks of Enrolling in a Study
The nature of the risks depends on the kind of study.
Often, clinical studies pose the risk of only minor discomfort that lasts for a short time.
For example, in some headache studies, participants take lifestyle tests; this is obviously a lower risk from undergoing surgery as part of a study.
We strongly recommend that all participants should talk to the research coordinator about the risks associated with the particular study they are interested in prior to enrolling.
Frequently Asked Questions
Studies and research can be confusing. You have the right to ask as many questions as necessary in order to understand the benefits and risks of participating. Below are some FAQs, frequently asked questions from our community
What is a clinical research study?
Clinical research studies involve research using human volunteers (also called participants). The purpose of clinical studies is to develop new and better ways to treat patients.
Who monitors research studies?
All research conducted that involves human subjects must be reviewed, approved, and monitored by the Institutional Review Board (IRB). The IRB is a panel of scientists and nonscientists (including members of the community) whose role is to protect the rights, privacy, and welfare of the research participant and to ensure that the research meets the required standards, regulations, and policies established by the FDA and the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services Office for Human Research Protections.
Who pays for research?
Research is funded by many different sources such as the National Institutes of Health, private companies, and nonprofit foundations.
Can I leave a research study I am participating in ?
You are free to leave a study at any time and for any reason. While your participation is very important, it is your choice.
If you want to stop, you should tell the study doctor or coordinator. If a study involves medication, it may not be safe to stop taking it all at once. Talk to your doctor about how to safely end your participation.
The researcher can also choose to end your participation in a study. This decision is usually made when continuing in the study is not in your best interest, if you did not follow the rules of the study, or if the study was stopped. You will be told why your participation was ended. You will also be given the chance to ask questions.
