Good to know
- A very small amount of cerebrospinal fluid will be collected several times from participants. The cerebrospinal fluid will be collected by means of a lumbar puncture. During this procedure, a needle is inserted into the space between the lumbar vertebrae (vertebrae at the lower end of the spine). A small tube (catheter) is inserted so you only have to undergo 1 puncture for all the collections. The lumbar puncture will be done by an experienced doctor at University Medical Center Groningen.
In this video we explain what to expect from a lumbar puncture during a clinical trial

"You basically only need to bring some clean clothes and toiletries. Everything else is here. As many clean towels as you need, your bed made, breakfast, lunch and dinner. Some participants bring a PlayStation or their own board games, but we have plenty of those here anyway!"

Frequently asked questions
How is the amount of compensation determined?
This depends on the length of your stay and on the number of treatments carried out during the research. The compensation is determined per study and approved by the Medical Ethics Review Committee (MERC).
Where do I stay during my participation?
QPS Nederland has 2 research clinics in Groningen. Our main research clinic is on the grounds of the University Medical Centre Groningen. While our second clinic and screening centre is located opposite the main entrance of the hospital.
Wat kan ik verwachten van een verblijf in de QPS kliniek?
Vraag je je af hoe een dag in een kliniek eruitziet? Je bent niet de enige! Wanneer je voor de eerste keer deelneemt aan geneesmiddelenonderzoek (bij QPS) is er veel te ontdekken. Hoe besteed je je tijd, hoe leuk zijn de andere deelnemers, hoe vriendelijk zijn de artsen en het verpleegkundig personeel? Maar dus ook: Wat wordt er van je verwacht?
Een dag in een kliniek verschilt per onderzoek, maar een aantal elementen komen eigenlijk altijd wel terug. We schetsen een voorbeeldsituatie en nemen je zo mee in een verblijfsperiode bij ons in de kliniek. Hoe jouw daadwerkelijke onderzoeksperiode eruit ziet? Dat hangt af van het onderzoek waaraan je deelneemt en wordt uitgelegd bij ontvangst in de kliniek.

What can I expect?
Do you wonder what a day in our clinic looks like? You are not the only one! When you participate in clinical trials (at QPS or elsewhere) for the first time, there is a lot to discover. What do you do with your time, what are the other participants like, how friendly are the doctors and nursing staff? But also: what is expected of you?
A day in a clinic differs per clinical trial, but all studies have a number of elements in common. Below, we will outline a sample situation and take you through a stay with us in the clinic. What does your actual research period look like? That depends on the clinical trial in which you participate. It will be explained to you when you arrive at the clinic.
