Usually classified from D1 (dense) to D4 (porous).Of or related to or conducted in or as if within a clinic.Analytical or detached – clinically.Evidence or controlled trials include the “gold standard,” which are randomized doubleblind placebo-controlled trials (RCT): “placebocontrolled” where the substance is tested alongside an inert “pill” that has no effect, “blind” where no one knows who is taking test or placebo and “randomized” where people in the test and placebo groups are split up randomly. In this book we include other pilot trial evidence from uncontrolled or open label trials. Most plant trials use under 100 participants compared to pharmaceutical drug trials which use hundreds or thousands, but as long as the difference between the test plant and placebo or between the start and end of the trial are statistically significant, the result is valid. We cite the trials that support the traditional uses of the plant but also note if there are substantial negative outcomes.Pertaining to the direct treatment of patients.Referring to the physical assessment and treatment of patients by doctors, as opposed to a surgical operation, a laboratory test or experiment.Referring to instruction given to students at the bedside of patients as opposed to class instruction with no patient present.A term referring to direct contact with or information from patients and to the course of illness; "things" medical about a patient. Thus personal (bedside) contact with the patient is clinical contact, a laboratory which examines blood and other specimens from patients is a clinical laboratory, the patients medical record is a clinical record, research involving patients is clinical research, a nurse taking care of patients is a clinical nurse.To bedside patient care (e.g., clinical medicine) in contrast to basic-science studies (e.g., experimental medicine).Clinical means literally belonging to a bed’, but the word is used to denote anything associated with the practical study or observation of sick people — as in clinical medicine, clinical thermometers.Founded on actual observation and treatment of patients as distinguished from data or facts obtained from other sources.
