Clinical Need

Meaning

Clinical need is a precise term defining a demonstrable health problem, deficiency, or pathological state in a patient population for which no adequate, approved, or satisfactory preventative, diagnostic, or therapeutic option currently exists. In the hormonal health space, this often pertains to complex endocrine disorders or age-related declines where conventional treatments are limited, ineffective, or associated with significant side effects. Identifying a clinical need is the foundational step in the development and justification of novel pharmaceutical interventions or personalized treatment protocols.
