What are the potential benefits of clinical research study participation?
A. You may not receive any medical benefit if you agree to take part in a clinical research study. It is possible that the study treatment to which you are assigned may improve your symptoms. Because study visits occur on a weekly or bi-weekly basis, your symptoms will be under close supervision by the study doctor throughout your study participation, which may provide some medical benefit, but there is no guarantee of this. The information from this scientific research study may prove beneficial in the future to others who have the same medical condition as you do. Additionally, you have the opportunity to educate yourself about bipolar disorder and treatment.
