The Importance of Research

This article is to help the user understand what role research play and how the PNA is involved in it.
PNA Assessments and Surveys
The PNA enforces a strict privacy policy: It does not sell or give away patient or member names to anyone. However, the information we gather is invaluable, influencing legislation, the medical community, research projects and patient care. Please help us continue our good work by taking these surveys and questionnaires. For more information see our privacy policy.
Clinical trials
A clinical trial is an organized study conducted in order to answer specific questions abouta new treatment or a new way of using a known treatment. Each study tries to increase medical knowledge and to find new and better ways to help patients. Besides studying new drugs, clinical trials study new combinations of drugs already used, new ways of giving treatment, and how changes in lifestyle can help patients. Other clinical trials compare the best known standard therapy with a newer therapy to see if one produces more cures and causes fewer side effects than the other.
