Clinical trials are scientific investigations that examine a person's response to a medicinal, surgical, or behavioural intervention. In order to determine whether a novel method of therapy or prevention, such as a new medication, diet, or medical device (such as a pacemaker), is both safe and effective in humans, researchers mostly rely on these trials.
An comprehensive examination of a person, a group of people, or a unit with the intention of generalising over several units is referred to as a case study.1 A Case Study is often referred to as an in-depth, methodical assessment of a single person, group, community, or other unit that the researcher looks at.
