Testimonials
"The research staff was kind and thorough. Their attention to detail as well as my comfort was appreciated. I am happy that I could contribute to the research and delighted to report that I feel stronger. I am walking better and faster."
"The study has been great for me, my left leg is stronger, I am able to walk for at least a mile, when I started the study I had trouble walking a quarter mile. I also have more feelings in my left leg and learned about neuroplasticity and how my brain works with constant and regular movement."
"I wish other stroke survivors knew how beneficial this could be on more fronts than just what the study is covering. You can learn a lot, you get to experience time with other people, and maybe find out something about yourself."
"All the investigators and staff were very professional and friendly. I have noticeable improvement in my walking function and improvement in the overall strength of my body. Participation in the study was a rewarding experience and it also inspired me to actively work on the post stroke rehabilitation after the study.
"We have learned that recovery is an ongoing experience. That when you set goals and meet them celebrating the success is an amazing experience. We learned we are not alone and that this is a journey."
"Research is my therapy. With every research study I continue to learn more about my recovery journey."
What Can I Expect?
Clinical trials at Emory must follow strict rules that are set by the Institutional Review Board (IRB). This group of people review research to make sure it will be done safely and that the benefits of the research outweigh the risks to the participants. This is done to protect the study participants welfare, health, safety and privacy while they are involved in a clinical trial. Some clinical trials may be conducted to examine alternative indications for existing medications or treatments.
