Medical research (or experimental medicine) is basic research and applied research conducted to aid the body of knowledge in the field of medicine. Medical research can be divided into two general categories; new treatments that are tested in clinical trials, and all other research contributing to the development of new treatments.
New treatments
These refer to any form of previously untested treatment for a particular pathology. This can take the form of a new surgical procedure, a new drug, or a new treatment regimen. These are extensively tested in clinical trials prior to widespread use. More on [ Medical research ]
