What are the Challenges in Measuring Clinical Response?
Measuring clinical response comes with its set of challenges:
1. Variability in Response: Patients may respond differently to the same treatment due to genetic, environmental, or lifestyle factors. 2. Placebo Effect: The psychological impact of receiving a treatment can sometimes mimic a clinical response. 3. Data Quality: Inconsistent or incomplete data can affect the accuracy of clinical response measurements. 4. Ethical Considerations: Ensuring that studies are conducted ethically, with informed consent from participants.
