AB Clinical  research  is  a  systematic  method  for  evaluating  the  effectiveness  of  treatment  and  for  establishing  a  basis  for  inductive  generalizations  about  intervention.  The  ultimate  goal  is  to  further  intellectual  progress  by  contributing  to  the  scientific  base  of  practice  through  the  development  of  theory.  Theories  are  created  out  of  a  need  to  organize  and  give  meaning  to  a  complex  collection  of  individual  facts  and  observations.
