Consumers can improve stroke trial design
Consumers support the idea of planned trials of thrombolysis for
acute ischaemic stroke, and their involvement can help to refine
consent procedures, leading to an ethically acceptable trial. Koops and
Lindley (p 415) report the results of quantitative and qualitative
research involving older people, stroke patients, and carers in
designing a consent procedure for a trial of thrombolysis for acute
ischaemic stroke. The consumers thought it appropriate that relatives,
or perhaps even doctors, should give consent, and they also suggested
many changes to the trial's information material.
