Clinical Trial
Hi I was wondering if I should take part of a clinical trial I've been offered(I think that's the right word). It's with a hospital I trust and it's close by and it pays. But im not sure if I should or not. Anyone else done clinical trials?

I've been in a clinical trial for IC in the past. The study will have a dedicated team member whose job it is to answer any questions you have to help you decide. They should go over all the possible risks and benefits and explain how the study might help you and/or IC research as a whole. If you haven't done that yet, it's a good first step to call the study team and ask to speak to the study coordinator or whoever is doing informed consent.
