A clinical trial is a research study that “prospectively assigns human participants or groups of humans to one or more health-related interventions to evaluate the effects on health outcomes.” Practically speaking, they are research studies that find and test new treatments or procedures. Without clinical trials, we would not have the medical and scientific advances that we have today.
