Declining or Waning
- Traditional Pharmacological Studies:
There has been a noticeable decrease in studies that solely focus on traditional pharmacological treatments without exploring their broader implications or novel combinations with other therapies. - Basic Science Studies Without Clinical Relevance:
Research that emphasizes basic science without direct clinical application or relevance to patient care has become less common, as there is a stronger push towards translational research that connects laboratory findings to clinical practice. - Single-Center Observational Studies:
The trend towards multi-center and larger-scale observational studies has led to a decline in single-center studies, which may not provide sufficient generalizability or impact in the field.
