A clinical trial is a research study to answer specific questions about new therapies or new ways of using established treatments. Clinical trials are used to determine whether new drugs or treatments are both safe and effective. Most current drug therapies were initially developed in past clinical trials. When being considered for a Clinical Trial, the research staff will provide you with an informed consent document that includes the following details: why the research is being done, what will be done during the trial, what risks and benefits can be expected, availability of alternative treatments, contact information, confidentiality, and any costs.
At
the UW Center for Anxiety and Traumatic
Stress
and at the Post
Traumatic Stress Disorder Research and Treatment Program, we study and treat the symptoms
of
PTSD. Because we receive funding for our research, we are able to offer
no-cost services to eligible individuals who are experiencing trauma-related
problems.
To find out if you are eligible for our
services, please call the program in your area. One of our staff will conduct a brief
interview by phone. If you are not eligible for any of our services, we will provide
free referrals to other sources.
