Immune Responses and Symptoms in Lyme Disease Patients and Healthy Controls
Stanford University
Are you interested in participating in a research project at Stanford University researching Lyme disease?
You could be included in this important research if you: * are a patient of one of the following California doctors: Dr. S., Dr. G., or Dr. P. * have been diagnosed with Lyme disease * are an adult aged 21 years or older * speak and read English * have never been homeless * have not taken antibiotics everyday for 2 consecutive years in the last 5 years (2005 - 2010) * allow for your medical record to be reviewed within this provider's office for diagnoses and lab results
This study will evaluate and compare the sensitivity of various Lyme disease tests to their clinical diagnoses and test results of persons who are healthy and have never been diagnosed with Lyme disease.
Participants will have their blood drawn for diagnostic tests used for Lyme disease. Following this, they will complete questionnaires related to quality of life, demographics, distress, medical symptoms and treatment, coping and pain during a one-time 2 to 3 hour visit at Stanford University.
By participating in this study you will:
- Contribute valuable information that may benefit adults living with Lyme disease - Receive a one-time $50 payment
If you are interested in learning more about this exciting study, please let the doctor's office staff know or contact: Lila Castillo, Project Coordinator 650-725-5590 or Alex Aylward, Project Coordinator 650-721-6115
