A clinical trial is basically a scientific study that involves people. The aim of clinical trials is to investigate
whether a product is reliable, safe and effective.  Clinical trials allow researchers to measure the extent of the product effect, so they can predict with some confidence how much it will benefit people, and whether there are any potential side effects of the product. Clinical trials differ according to various studies and also in what they require of a subject/ volunteer.

It’s a way to help you and to help others. It provides an opportunity for you to help increase knowledge by helping researchers find out if a particular Product is safe and effective.
