Abstract

The purpose of this article is to discuss the ethical concepts involved in the conception, design, execution, analysis, publication, and reporting of clinical research. Although it might seem burdensome to comply with these ethical necessities, they can assist in the organization of a well-run clinical trial, if considered at the onset of a study, while also protecting the valuable human subjects who volunteer for these trials.
