Abstract

A pragmatic clinical trial is one that addresses questions of major public health importance, and whose results can inform decisions made every day by patients, clinicians, and health system leaders. Pragmatic clinical trials provide evidence-based research that translates directly into clinical practice. They differ from traditional clinical trials in that they reflect real-world clinical settings, and are designed to provide actionable information. Pragmatic clinical trials provide crucial evidence needed for health care decision-making, giving healthcare workers the tools to deliver effective interventions. The current paper is attempted to explore pragmatic clinical trial through reviewing published data on this topic.

Keywords: Pragmatic trial, Clinical trial, evidence-based research, patients, clinicians.
