I saw about a year or so ago that there was a posting where you could get a pretty decent amount of money for doing some clinical tests with AAI or AAC (or something similar) in Chapel Hill where they were testing the effectiveness of generic drugs.

I was wondering if anyone knew the website or if they were still doing the study.

1/22/2008 12:20:11 AM

"INFORMATIONAL: Healthy Participants 18-44 Needed for study of Muscle and Jaw Function submitted by Oppera on Tuesday, October 16 at 12:45 PM The UNC Center for Neurosensory Disorders is conducting a research study investigating the biological, psychological, and genetic factors that may cause Temporomandibular Muscle and Joint Disorder (TMJD). We are looking for healthy volunteers and people with TMJD to participate. Participation will include 1 clinic appointment lasting 3 hours. During that time participants fill out various questionnaires and receive a clinical exam and sensory testing. Individuals who meet the study criteria will complete brief health updates for the next 4-5 years. You must be between the ages of 18 and 44, and not have diabetes, epilepsy, hyperthyroidism, drug or alcohol abuse, chronic respiratory diseases, high blood pressure, heart disease, kidney failure and have not required hospitalization for a psychiatric disorder within the last 6 months. You should not participate if you are pregnant, nursing a baby, currently involved in orthodontic treatment, chemotherapy or radiation therapy. People who complete all data collection aspects will be paid $260 (this includes $90 for the clinic appointment mentioned above). For more information about the study, visit the website at http://www.oppera.org Please contact us if you are interested in learning more about our study (Biomedical IRB number 05-DENT-777). If interested or for further information please contact: (919) 966-1060 Approved by the Biomedical IRB This email is sponsored by: The Center for Neurosensory Disorders"

fromt he main tww page.

those AAI clinics arent hard to get a hold of. if you are on the mailing list you should get mail like 5 times a week about new studies. ill try to post them up in here.

ive had few people i know go through with them, and some ehh, dont even risk it.

you have to goto do some sort of physical type thing so you are in good health, which costs them a pretty penny and thats why they want you to be serious bout these studies

[Edited on January 22, 2008 at 9:14 AM. Reason : the latest email from them should have been Jan. 17th]

1/22/2008 9:11:42 AM

i deleted 210 previous emails from them just now so i can know when i get a new one(created a gmail folder for them)...hope i get one soon...you cant have smoked cigs regularly for 30 days, at least thats what mine say...sometimes they require that you cant have taken other prescriptions for like the previous 2 weeks

1/22/2008 9:20:31 AM

damn usually they are 2 confinement periods...i cant do 4 with be being a full time student

1/22/2008 9:30:25 AM

that's actually a really good one

most of them dont have that few outpatient visits and they confine you for longer periods of time at that cost/price

1/22/2008 9:31:35 AM

I got emails for that and stuff but I was never able to do any of them due to scheduling conflicts. But yeah they apparently pay you pretty well for some of them.

1/22/2008 10:18:02 AM

I don't know if $4k is enough to justify this:

im betting this one has a drug where they have limited or no knowledge of side effects, as it pays so much for such relatively short amount of time

though those 52 blood draws add up quickly, especially when you get a newer nurse from them

are you kidding? you've gotta be a crackhead to be a fucking lab monkey to begin with... and you're talking about being forced to stay away from proven, safe medications and swapping them for mystery pills from the wizard of oz. not to mention looking like a damned heroin addict with a bruised up arm. haha

this really is the kind of "job" for a crackhead. or at least someone with a crackhead mentality, since obviously real crackheads cant get in.

you guys have fun with your 4000 bucks, i'm gonna keep on working and take my damn advil gelcaps when i wake up with a sore neck... and take my sinus medication when my nose gets stopped up and my ears start popping.... and you know, go to the doctor when i get sick and take the prescriptions. shit like that. yeah.

1/22/2008 12:33:19 PM

oh they explain the drugs to you in detail from what ive heard.

thats why lots of people end up not doing their study because they goto the meeting and they tell you the side effects. and unless you are strapped for cash, you will drop out.

this is something decent or a college kid. i know a few people that have gone through college with doing these studies, not paying all the tuition and stuff, but surviving without complaint.

some of the medication is FDA approved, whatever..

most of it isnt.

but yeah like you said, lab rats

1/22/2008 12:45:13 PM

^thats pretty much it

everyone but 1 or 2 people ive been in a trial with is either a college student, saving for college, or just graduated

1/22/2008 12:48:28 PM

I did studies at AAI for three years. The money was awesome. The best one I did was for a muscle relaxer *thumbs up*

They are located in Morrisville now.

1/22/2008 1:58:25 PM

i did them when i was between jobs waiting to move...

did three all together i think

they "say" that all the drugs they test are just generic versions of the name brand versions and that they are simply testing absorption rate changes between the two if any...

i dont know if that's true, but that's what they say...most of the time the drugs i did within the trials were fairly innocuous if they did or were what the people said they were

1/22/2008 3:41:13 PM

i guess i cant knock it cause they gotta test it on humans somehow

i just took offense to the term crackhead being used to describe people who wouldnt give up their otc meds and coffee as opposed to the people who sell their bodies to the vampires

Forgive my ignorance, but do they not tell you what the study is for? I don't see what they'd be testing the subject for (or not testing, if they're a control).

2/2/2008 3:29:15 PM

they tell you once you pass the screening or are invited, i forget which

2/2/2008 6:07:08 PM

My uncle has done similar stuff for Scintipharma, a company in Kentucky. The money has been pretty damn good and he helps manage some of the experiments now. I'd be really interested in this if I could get on the mailing list.

if you're going to do one, hold out another week or 2 for one worthwhile, aai has been sending out emails for a month or 2 with 3-4k trials

"though those 52 blood draws add up quickly, especially when you get a newer nurse from them "

I have to imagine that if they were going to do that many blood draws over a months span they would just put a catheter in, at least for the confinement periods.

you'd have a shitty imagination then!

Why would that be unreasonable if you're going to do a bunch of blood draws on a given day or two? I know they wouldn't do it over a long period of time because of infection, but why not over a very short period of time?

3/27/2008 6:56:34 PM

^b/c giving small blood draws 8 times over a 14 hr span isnt that bad and only takes a couple mins each blood draw


also, i told you guys not to bother with that $900 study a few posts above b/c they have been sending out emails for much larger payments recently, and heres one:

so WTF is a confinement period?

meaning I could potentially stay in the lab for a week?

3/28/2008 9:20:58 PM

the only problem with the more expensive ones is that you'll stay there longer.

thats 3 different 6 days stays.

thats like 3 weeks.

the cheaper ones are just a few days total.

if you've got the time, then yea go for the $$$ ones.

3/28/2008 9:36:08 PM

Fuck.

I have a real job.

I was just hoping for extra cash money on the side.

God damn it.

3/28/2008 9:53:18 PM

A lot of them are just on weekends.. get on their mailing list and eventually you'll find one where you just stay like two saturday nights or something and get a grand or two... pretty easy. I've done several

3/28/2008 10:30:01 PM

yeh, but the longer ones aren't bad come summer, unless you have a real job or have to do summer classes
