Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1This trial used the SCL90-R questionnaire to measure psychiatric symptoms in people with Behçet's Disease — does my own care include any kind of screening for anxiety, depression, or other psychiatric symptoms, and if not, should it?
2Since this study has already been completed, would my doctor be able to share or look up what the results showed about how commonly psychiatric problems occur alongside Behçet's Disease, and what that might mean for my situation?
3Behçet's Disease can affect many body systems, but psychiatric effects are less often talked about — based on what this research found, are there mental health concerns I should be actively watching for as part of managing my condition?
4Given that this was an observational study measuring symptoms rather than testing a treatment, are there any clinical trials currently open that go further and actually test ways to treat the psychiatric side effects of Behçet's Disease that my doctor thinks might be worth considering?
5Should I be referred to a mental health professional as part of my care team for Behçet's Disease, especially now that there is research specifically looking at the psychiatric burden of this condition?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
