Why Clinical Trials Feel Out of Reach (and What to Know)

Clinical trials are often seen as a last resort. But what if they’re actually one of the most important options available?In this episode, Wendy talks with clinical trial expert Kelly McKee about how clinical trials really work, why they’re so misunderstood, and what makes TBI uniquely difficult to study.They explore the gap between perception and reality, the barriers patients face, and how new models like decentralized trials could make participation more accessible.This conversation reframes clinical trials not as a risk, but as a critical part of how medicine moves forward.If this episode changed how you think about clinical trials, share it with someone who needs it.And follow Rupture for more conversations about what happens when systems break.Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@BestGuessistanSubscribe to our Substack: https://bestguessistan.substack.com/Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bestguessistan/Join the conversation on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bestguessistan/
