ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier (NCT number)

A ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier, or NCT number, is a unique code given to each clinical study registered on ClinicalTrials.gov, a public database. This number helps identify and track specific research studies involving health conditions, treatments, or tests. It ensures transparency and allows patients, researchers, and healthcare providers to find detailed information about the study’s purpose, location, eligibility, and results. Essentially, it's like a unique ID tag that makes it easy to access and verify details about various clinical trials conducted worldwide.
