Embedding Patient and Health Care Professional Voices in Clinical Trials

 Get me involved in stroke research and I would probably reject almost all stroke research for not actually solving stroke recovery.  Because we have NO leadership and NO strategy to solve stroke!

There is growing evidence that a substantial proportion of trials do not generate informative results due to suboptimal design or underrecruitment.1 For every funded study that is uninformative due to poor design, the opportunity is lost to fund an alternative study. This leads to fiscal waste but, more importantly, it represents an ethical issue: every uninformative study has put undue burden on patients who willingly contributed for zero benefits, leading to a negative benefit-risk ratio.
