Common questions
Common questions, short answers.
What kind of site is Visitela?
Visitela is a free clinical trial information website from The Nelson M Group LLC. It explains the basics in plain language.
Is this site for medical emergencies?
No. If you think you are having a medical emergency, call 911. For questions about your own health, talk to your doctor.
What does signing up give me?
A first guide on your chosen topic by email (only if you give one), and, if you ask for them, short texts that link back to the same guides.
Do you share my details with sponsors or research sites?
No. We do not sell, rent or share your personal information with study sponsors, research sites, recruiters, lead buyers or other partners. You can see exactly what we collect in the Privacy Policy.
Is a phone number needed?
No. Leave the email, mobile and ZIP boxes empty if you like. We ask only for your name, a topic and agreement to the privacy terms.
Can you set up a study visit for me?
No. We do not schedule or arrange visits. Each study team handles its own appointments.
Do you run any studies?
No. {B} publishes information only and has no studies of its own.
How can I remove my information?
Use the unsubscribe link in any email, or write to [email protected].
Who runs Visitela, and is it a medical provider, study team or recruiter?
Not at all. We write general guides about how research works. We run no studies and see no patients, and none of it is medical, legal or financial advice.
Are texts required?
No. You are only texted if you tick a box yourself, and there is two separate unchecked boxes to choose from. Leaving it blank is fine.
Will you tell me if I qualify for a study?
No. Only a study team can decide eligibility, and every study sets its own rules. We explain how those rules are usually written so you can ask better questions.
How frequent are the messages?
Not often. Message frequency varies, topping out around 8 a month, and message and data rates may apply.
Can I cancel the text messages?
Send STOP in reply to any message and texts end. Reply HELP for help, or write to [email protected].
Do studies cover travel costs?
It varies by study, and some do not. We explain what to ask, but we cannot say what any particular study covers.
