Clinical research investigates mechanisms of human disease, interventions, or new technologies, but pregnant women are often excluded from clinical studies. Few studies, beyond research on pregnancy, are designed to address questions relevant to pregnant women. A recent National Institutes of Health workshop considered the barriers and opportunities in conducting clinical research studies enrolling pregnant women.
临床研究探讨人类疾病、干预措施或新技术的机制,但孕妇通常被排除在临床研究之外。除了与妊娠相关的研究外,很少有研究旨在解决与孕妇相关的问题。最近,美国国立卫生研究院的一个研讨会考虑了在招募孕妇进行临床研究方面的障碍和机遇。
