Trial Registration

Trial registration is the process of formally recording a clinical study, such as a new treatment or medical intervention, in an official public database before it begins. This ensures transparency, helps prevent selective reporting of results, and allows researchers, healthcare professionals, and the public to know about ongoing and completed studies. By registering a trial, details like its purpose, methods, and expected outcomes become accessible, promoting trust and accountability in medical research. It also helps prevent duplication and encourages ethical conduct by making the study's plan publicly available prior to its execution.
