Healthy volunteers needed

A healthy volunteer is someone who doesn't have any major health problems who chooses to participate in a clinical study. They may help test new medicines, devices or treatments. Researchers may compare healthy volunteers with people who have a specific disease or condition, or match healthy volunteers with patients based on characteristics like age, sex or family relationship.
