Not all trials are about treating illness. Some help prevent disease or improve daily life. Here are the main types:

Treatment Trials

  • Test new medications or therapies.
  • Often for people with a specific illness.

Prevention Trials

  • Try to stop disease before it happens.
  • May involve vaccines, diet changes, or lifestyle habits.

Screening Trials

  • Look for better ways to detect diseases early.
  • Aim to find illness before symptoms appear.

Diagnostic Trials

  • Test new ways to diagnose diseases.
  • May help find faster or more accurate tests.

Quality-of-Life Trials

  • Focus on improving daily comfort and well-being.
  • May involve pain relief, mobility, or emotional support.

Key Note: Each trial type follows ethical rules to protect your rights and privacy.
