What
is it?
This week’s resource is
actually several databases. These databases allow you to find clinical trials
that have been registered:
Key
Features
The registers list the
title of the trial and some information about the trial. There may also be an
indication of whether the trial is recruiting or whether it is complete. You
can search using free-text, some registers allow you to select the medical
condition you are interested in.
How
can it help you?
If you are completing a
research project it may be worth checking the registers to find out if anyone
else is doing the same or similar research. You can subscribe to some of the
services so that you are informed of new trials being registered.
Some of the trials also
indicate whether they are recruiting patients – this might be something that
you want to discuss with some of your patients.
How
to access it?
All the websites listed
are freely available on the Internet.
