Abstract

Clinical research, a cornerstone of medical progress, is an intricate and dynamic field aimed at advancing our understanding of diseases, developing innovative treatments, and improving overall healthcare outcomes. The background of clinical research is deeply rooted in the pursuit of knowledge and the desire to enhance medical practices. Historically, clinical research has been driven by the need to address unanswered questions in medicine and to find effective interventions for various health conditions.
