Sana’s story: Finding answers through clinical trials

Sana moved to the U.S. from India and soon began experiencing health issues. She was diagnosed with gastroparesis in 2020 through a clinical trial. She found the trial through an Instagram ad and, after speaking with her healthcare provider, decided to participate. Sana was impressed by the diverse and welcoming clinical team, who provided clear information and ensured her privacy. Throughout the trial, she received regular check-ins to monitor her health.

They were actually very welcoming…they were all very happy to answer any of my questions or tell me what it was about.

-Sana

Even years later, she still gets follow-up calls to check on her well-being. Sana encourages others to consider clinical trials, believing the potential benefits outweigh the risks, even with the possibility of receiving a placebo.
