I am well aware that in research anecdotes are not acceptable as supportive or conclusive evidence and scientific reasoning. But my question is, would it be scientifically acceptable to warrant a study on a drug simply because of rumors of a substance having some sort of medical benifit and then conduct the study to test the anecdotes? Or are drug studies only granted permission by the FDA only if the study is being done to test previous scientific theories of how it would medically benefit.
Is it acceptable in medical research to use anecdotes as a reasons to start a study?
i think yes, but my opinion is that of a layman
