Generally, plenty of resources are consumed by clinical trials, namely efforts of humans, money, and time. A prime reason for (DCTs) decentralized clinical trials to be famous is because they can perform optimization of resources and in providing analysis of the live data of clinical trials with the progression of the study. Subsequently, DCTs imply…

In research programs a pivotal role is played by epidemiological surveys to estimate the occurrence, incidence, factors of risk, and actual diseases history in the population of study. Researchers are assisted by these surveys in designing and performing relevant clinical studies, recognize the study perspective of the illnesses, and explain the results of the trial. We…

In the clinical study landscape, the study designs whose approach acts as a fundamental one at examining the safety, efficacy, and pertinence of medical interventions in the real-world are open trials. Open trials reveal the assignment of treatment to the parties involved in a transparent manner whereas in blind study strategies the participants, researchers, or…

Two broad classification of research programs are: Qualitative and Quantitative.
