BRAIN Neuroethics Working Group (NEWG) Workshop on Continuing Trial Responsibilities
Participants of implanted neural device trials may have research-related care needs after the trial has ended. For example, these needs could include continued access to the device, device maintenance and support, explantation, and/or medical care resulting from participating in the research study. Discussions in the field suggest that investigators, grantee institutions, device manufacturers, funders and others involved in the trial have shared responsibilities to facilitate some of these needs.
