What is clinical research and why is it done?

Clinical research is medical research that studies people to understand health and disease. Clinical research helps improve the way doctors treat and prevent illness.

The NIH website https://nih.gov/health-information/nih-clinical-research-trials-you/basics is a resource for people who want to learn more about clinical trials. It includes a list of what questions to ask if offered a clinical trial.

What are some types of clinical trials?

The main types of clinical trials are interventional and observational.

1) Interventional trials: Test out new treatments.

2) Observational studies: Observe participants without treating them.

Some examples of Interventional trials are

-Controlled trials- The investigator chooses who gets the treatment and who is in the comparison group (this group receives no treatment)

-Double-blind trials- Neither the researchers nor the participants know who gets which treatment until the trial ends

-Pilot and feasibility studies- Researchers run smaller versions of larger studies before starting the full trial

Other types of clinical research include:

-Diagnostic research: Looks for better ways to identify a disorder or condition

-Screening research: Looks for better ways to detect disorders or health conditions

-Quality of life research: Looks for ways to improve comfort and quality of life for people with chronic illness

-Behavioral studies: Research projects that evaluate or compare ways to promote behavioral changes designed to improve health
