You will likely not qualify.
Depends on the nature of it of course, but all medical trials have lots of inclusion criteria and exclusion critera. It's not as easy to participate in these things as it seems (like I said, depends again on what kind of condition is being tested)
I have been translating a lot of medical documents lately and have come across several consent forms for these types of things. They are perfectly safe if they are legit (this often means government funded) and again if you meet the criteria (inclusions and exclusions considered)
They've all been official documents though, so these are the only types I am familiar with. If it's a drug trial by some kind of charlatan-driven group --- definitely stay away

Think of the potential life changing side effects. Of course I'm talking about super powers. Do it.

I'm not going to lie, ********'s fractured mental state is the single biggest reason I haven't already signed up.
They are offering some mad coin, though. One study offers £2455 for three days of testing. Mighty fucking tempting.
Wow, did they mention what that one would require? That's a fair chunk of money.

"This trial is available to healthy male and female volunteers aged 18 and over with a BMI between 18.5 and 32. Volunteers can be both smokers or non-smokers. Gilberts syndrome is not acceptable for this trial, HRT is not acceptable for female volunteers."
Do it. I know a guy who used to do these all the time, he got paid like $1500 to test a new flavor of Gatorade. I guess it's kind of like trick or treat though, sometimes you get the big Kit Kat and other times you get the candy bar with a creamy syphillis filling. On second thought, maybe you shouldn't.

Eh, worst-case scenario, you get a rack like William's. At least now you'll have something for the other hand to do.
