What is a clinical trial? A clinical trial is a research study to answer specific health questions using human volunteers. There are generally two types of clinical trials:

1) Experimental treatments to test whether specific therapies are safe and effective under controlled environments

2) Observational studies to assess health issues in large populations in a natural setting
