A clinical trial is any research study that evaluates interventions to prevent, detect, diagnose, or treat a disease or disorder. In a clinical trial, human participants (or groups of participants) are assigned to one or more interventions to assess the results on health outcomes.
Clinical Trials are important in discovering new treatments to prevent, detect, diagnose or treat Narcolepsy. It is the only process to bring new pharmacological drugs and treatments forward for approval to use within the Narcolepsy community. Without the clinical trials, there is a risk that individuals could be given treatments which have no advantage, waste time and could even be harmful to one’s health. If a treatment has no benefit, or has serious side effects, the treatment may not be further developed.
