Informed consent means that a person agrees to join a clinical trial after learning everything they need to know about it.
Before joining, participants are given:
- A written document explaining the trial
- Time to ask questions
- A clear explanation of risks, benefits, and rights
No one can be forced to join a trial. Consent is completely voluntary, and participants can change their minds at any time. Informed consent is a basic ethical requirement in all research.
