What is a clinical trial?
WE KNOW YOU HAVE A LOT OF QUESTIONS...
Although there are many definitions of clinical trials, they are generally considered to be biomedical or health-related research studies in human beings that follow a pre-defined protocol. This is an interventional type study, meaning that you may be assigned to the study medication or you may be assigned to placebo (sugar pill). You will always be provided with a "rescue" pain medication that you can use if you are ever in pain.
