MS patients being sought for study ; Tuls a News
People ages 18 to 65 who have been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis are invited to participate in University of Tulsa re-search into how the disease affects people's ability to consent to medical research. That is important to know because pharmaceutical companies use MS patients to test potentially risky drugs that could be used to treat or cure the disease, a TU press release states. People who agree to participate in psychology professor Michael Basso's study will attend one three-hour testing session on the TU campus or at a convenient location; they will be paid $125, plus mileage if they come from outside Tulsa; and they will receive money for lunch, according to the press release. People without MS also are needed for a comparison group. To sign up, call Basso at 631-5472, e-mail him at michael-basso@utulsa.edu, or go online to www.orgs.utulsa.edu/cre. |
