ABOUT
Clinical research
It is important that medication and equipment meant for human use is monitored for safety and effectiveness. This is the aim of clinical research. These medical researches monitor treatment regimens, diagnostic devices and medication to ascertain how safe and effective they are. The findings of these researches are useful in preventing, diagnosing and treating of diseases. The value of clinical research to modern medicine as it has helped unearth some crucial findings that have been instrumental in tackling some of the deadliest diseases. Clinical research has transformed modern medicine to its potent form that we all respect it for.
The effect clinical research has had on the medical landscape is yet to reach its peak. Molecular biology and genetics are some of the areas that still continue to deliver tremendous results. Due to clinical research once unimaginable heights in genomes have been achieved. These studies have also inched closer to finding permanent solution to cancers by establishing a link between cancerous growth and genetic changes. Conditions such as stroke, congestive heart failure (CHF) and rupture of atherosclerotic plaque have presented a medical puzzle as their symptoms and causes have never been clearly established. With the direction clinical research has taken, it will be possible to establish the causes of diseases that were once unknown.
The success in clinical research does not imply that they do not face fair amount of challenges. There is an increasing difficulty in recruitment and training of clinical investigators. This is usually down to the fact that many assume that clinical researcher are earning less than their colleagues in private practice. Managed care institutions also try to cut down on expenses by reducing the numbers and funding of those they refer to academic health centers. The funding of clinical research has not been sufficient for the clinical researchers to effectively carry on and achieve their targets.
