Patient Information and Informed Consent for Research in the Elderly: Lessons Learned from a Randomized Controlled Trial

The informed consent (IC) of subjects participating in experimental studies is the mainstay to comply with the ethical principle of autonomy to ensure that the participation is voluntary.
