Unproven Treatments

'Unproven treatments' are treatments which have not yet been approved for widespread clinical use. They may be offered as part of an evidence-supported clinical trial, although they may also be offered through other routes without robust supporting evidence. If you are offered an unproven treatment as part of your care plan, it is important that you discuss the decision with a trusted healthcare professional. You can find more information about unproven treatments in the factsheets and resources below.
