Why isn't POIS listed that the research is happening?

If you look for POIS you won't find anything..

Hi, Drew1312,

Good question.

The POIS study is not a clinical trial as our POIS Research Team are not intervening on the illness itself, just measuring the symptoms and what happens in the body around those symptoms. Also, clinicaltrials.gov tends to be for research that is either federally funded (e.g., by the NIH) or for drugs/treatments that are intended to be reviewed by the FDA – not for smaller, independently funded research like ours.

what do you mean by "intervening on the illness itself" ?

Example: testing a new drug for POIS treatment.

 I understand, so in our case they are trying to find the cause?
