If you have a health condition for which there seem to be few treatments, you may want to investigate becoming part of a clinical trial. Pharmaceutical companies are always seeking test subjects for their new drugs and treatment programs and yes, they are looking for test subject 65 and older.
Are there risks? Yes. You won’t know if you’re getting the actual drug or a placebo. You also won’t know if the drug or treatment will be successful (after all, that’s what they’re testing). But there are some positive benefits. One, you’ll be helping advance science for all of the human race. Two, you may actually be among the first to receive a cutting-edge treatment from a top medical team – all at no cost to you!
