Clinical Trials Registry (NIH)ClinicalTrials.gov is a database of privately and publicly funded clinical studies conducted around the world.
ClinicalTrials.gov is a registry of trials, rather than a database of peer-reviewed reports. Trials are registered and updated by the research team. Registering and updating the results of the trials can reduce publication bias and help researchers identify trials before a peer reviewed publication is produced. However, the trials may not have undergone an independent vetting process.
