Among these, we clearly find the<strong> medical, pharmaceutical, and life science<\/strong> fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Related articles:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.a-stw.com\/en\/life-science-translations-and-the-use-of-cat-tools\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-luminous-vivid-amber-color\">Life Science Translations and The Use of Cat Tools<\/mark><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.a-stw.com\/en\/medical-translation-and-the-services-offered-by-astw\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-luminous-vivid-amber-color\">Medical Translation and The Services Offered by Astw<\/mark><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>As partially anticipated, the main objective of a clinical trial is to verify whether a new health approach can be advantageous if compared to the current state of the art. In experimental clinical trials, it is therefore crucial&nbsp;<strong>to sufficiently expand the number of participants<\/strong> so as not to spoil the results obtained by limiting the scope of the research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, to assess whether any improvements found are directly attributable to the novelty under study, an adequate number of subjects must be included in the research to ensure its full validity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this context, translation can play a crucial role in seeking consensus from the individuals involved in the clinical trial, allowing them to have&nbsp;<strong>access to accurate and easily understandable information about<\/strong>&nbsp;the purpose of the research, how it will be carried out, and the known risks and benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Translation in Clinical Trials<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A study recently published in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41586-023-06382-0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-luminous-vivid-amber-color\">Nature<\/mark><\/a>\u00a0aimed at identifying how the costs related to translation services can\u00a0<strong>negatively affect progress in the medical field<\/strong>, excessively limiting participation in clinical trials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As reported by Rocio Txabarriaga in his contribution to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/slator.com\/translation-costs-prevent-inclusive-participation-clinical-studies-us-research-finds\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-luminous-vivid-amber-color\">Slator<\/mark><\/a>: \u201cThe researchers explained that [in the United States] in 43.8% of the consent events for the evaluated sponsored studies, the patient had signed a document in a language other than the main language. In unsponsored studies, less than 1% of patients signed consent documents in their native language \u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This data is most likely due to a&nbsp;<strong>language barrier<\/strong>&nbsp;between the parties involved. This may cause plausible misunderstandings, a lack of full knowledge of the information, and the risk of undergoing studies unsuitable for their conditions. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, another relevant piece of data concerns unsponsored studies, in which a very small number of people speaking a language different from that used by researchers participate on average.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to translation services, it is easy to&nbsp;<strong>expand the number of languages<\/strong>&nbsp;in which patients can become aware of the clinical trial in its entirety,&nbsp;<strong>increasing inclusiveness<\/strong>&nbsp;and stimulating&nbsp;<strong>greater participation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To date, the gold standard in the world of professional translation is represented by the human-technology combination, which can ensure&nbsp;<strong>high quality levels at reduced costs<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s give it a chance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>For further information, visit our dedicated\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.a-stw.com\/traduzioni-mediche-life-science\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-luminous-vivid-amber-color\">page<\/mark><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><sup><sub>Image by RF._.studio from Pexels<\/sub><\/sup><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fortunately, the pandemic years are now a memory.
