He chats to us about statin side effects, how the Nocebo effect might play a role, and how the SAMSON trial might help us better counsel patients about side effects. He also takes us behind the scenes of the N-of-1 trial design and we explore how it could be used in further trials and clinical practice.❤️ The SAMSON trial was funded by the British Heart Foundation.
