There are many reasons why people choose to participate in research studies. The most common are to better understand and manage their own medical condition or to help find a cure for a specific condition. Other reasons include being closely monitored by expert medical personnel and being involved with other people who have the same disease or medical condition.

MassResearch conducts research in many areas that may result in new medications that better treat or cure a medical condition and new medical devices to make people healthier or more comfortable, from thermometers to heart valves.

Ultimately, the success of any clinical trial depends on the participation of consenting and well-informed patients. We keep study volunteers informed by providing  overviews of Patient Rights, Enrollment, Compensation and Protecting Your Personal Medical Information.

We encourage you to review the links provided, confer with your personal physician and contact us with any questions or concerns you have regarding clinical trials.
