clinical treatment
Professional healthcare intervention
Clinical treatment is medical care delivered by healthcare professionals in a clinical setting—a hospital, clinic, or doctor's office rather than at home or in a research laboratory.
The term distinguishes hands-on patient care from theoretical study or experimental research: The drug showed promise in trials but hasn't been approved for clinical treatment yet.
It encompasses diagnosis, therapy, and ongoing management of illness or injury.
