Counseling, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and other forms of “talking cure” can be helpful for people with conditions that affect their mental health, ranging from depression to stress to chronic pain
These treatments do not involve medication, although a person may use medication alongside them.
Physical therapy can help improve strength and flexibility in people who have a condition that affects their musculoskeletal system.
Occupational therapy can teach people new and better ways to do things physically. A person who has had a stroke, for example, may benefit from learning again how to walk, using techniques that perhaps they did not use before.
Other fields of medicine include pharmacology and pharmacy, nursing, speech therapy, medical practice management, and many more.

Researchers carry out investigations to find out which diseases are present, why they occur, what can treat or prevent them, what makes them more likely to happen, and many other aspects of health.
Clinical trials are one aspect of clinical research. They aim to find out if a therapy — often a drug — is safe and effective to use when treating a specific condition.
The most effective way to demonstrate the effectiveness of a drug or technique is to carry out a double-blind, random, long-term, large clinical human study.
In this type of study, researchers compare the effect of a therapy or drug in with either a placebo, no treatment, or another therapy or drug.
