Clinical trials are an important part of the medical research process.  Through clinical trials, scientific discoveries can lead to better ways to prevent, detect, and treat diseases and medical conditions.  Clinical trials are also a key part of the process in finding out which treatments work, which do not, and why.  Importantly, clinical trials also contribute to new knowledge about diseases and medical conditions.
