Questions about psychiatry trials
Which trials are counted as psychiatry?
Studies whose conditions, or the medical subject headings the registry adds to them, mention any of these terms: depression, depressive, anxiety, schizophrenia, bipolar, ptsd, stress disorder, adhd, autism, substance use, alcohol use, opioid use. A study can belong to more than one specialty, and the grouping is AzTrials', not the sponsor's.
Are all of these trials recruiting?
No. The lists on this page show studies open to volunteers (recruiting, not yet recruiting or enrolling by invitation), as the sponsor last reported. The full search also includes completed and stopped studies, some with posted results.
How can I refer a patient to one of these trials?
Open the trial and use the contacts and sites it lists; the For doctors view of each trial collects them with the key eligibility criteria. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
