Benefits of Clinical Trials

According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, roughly 70 million Americans suffer from gastrointestinal tract conditions. Whether you are in that group or not, it pays to learn how to protect and improve the health of your gut. There are a number of simple methods you can utilize to help improve your GI health.

First, it is important to monitor your diet. There are many foods that are known to cause problems in digestive systems, but there could be other foods that cause you particular problems.  By keeping track of what foods disrupt your digestive health, you can adjust your diet accordingly to avoid those foods, and eliminate diet as a cause of your symptoms. Living an active and healthy lifestyle will help as could certain vitamins and supplements.

Why Clinical Trails

The questions are “What is a healthy diet and lifestyle? What supplements have been proven to assist in GI health? How do you know if your GI issues are more serious?” The answers to these questions come from years of research in the medical field and by being proactive and taking control of your personal health. Where do the answers to these questions come from? They come from clinical trials utilized by doctors and scientists to find the best answers to these questions for the world.

Benefits

There are several benefits from participating in a clinical research trial. There is the obvious long-term goal of living your life without GI symptoms, but by being a volunteer for a clinical trial, you can find some immediate answers. Active clinical trial participants may obtain a new treatment for a disease before it is available to others. By playing a more active role in your health care, researchers can provide you with more frequent health checkups than traditional treatment. There are resources and support groups that will be made available to you that will give you the opportunity to interact with people who suffer from the same issues, and you can learn from one another.

Clinical trials are essential to the advancement of medicine in general, but the team at the Investigative Clinical Research Group specializes in finding answers for the gastrointestinal community. By focusing on finding treatments for Crohn’s Disease, Celiac Disease, Colon Rectal Cancer, and Non-Erosive Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (NERD), the Investigative Clinical Research Group can focus on finding treatments specifically for you and others with poor gastrointestinal health.
