Yes, it is.
Any intervention in humans that is meant to create generalizable information regarding a treatment intervention is a clinical trial.
The quality of the information is not as strong as a double-blind, placebo controlled, RCT, but it is still accurate to call it a clinical trial.
- gwerbret 1y agoBy the tenor of your response, I assume you understood what I meant in this very-non-medical of forums, which means you understood why the paper's authors themselves chose not to call their study a trial (even though they registered it as a "clinical trial", as is necessary for any clinical study in humans involving a treatment intervention). Which leaves me wondering about the purpose of your response.
