What are the best types of clinical research studies?
The best clinical study is called a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. That’s a long name, but we will break down each component. Participants are typically given one of two possible therapies. If the trial is designed to compare the effects of drug A versus drug B, then this is called a head-to-head study. If one is trying to determine the effect of a drug versus no drug, then that is a placebo-controlled study.
