CLINICAL MEDICINE

Detailed explanation-1: -Clinical trials are research studies that test a medical, surgical, or behavioral intervention in people. These trials are the primary way that researchers determine if a new form of treatment or prevention, such as a new drug, diet, or medical device (for example, a pacemaker), is safe and effective in people.

Detailed explanation-2: -Someone with no known significant health problems who participates in research to test a new drug, device, or intervention is a “healthy volunteer” or “Clinical Research Volunteer".

Detailed explanation-3: -One of the most common types of clinical studies is a clinical trial, in which researchers work with volunteers to find out how a substance or action, also called an intervention, affects a person.

Detailed explanation-4: -Healthy volunteers say they participate to help others and to contribute to moving science forward. Participants with an illness or disease also participate to help others, but also to possibly receive the newest treatment and to have the additional care and attention from the clinical trial staff.
