What is ClinicalTrials.gov?

It was built and is run by the U.S. National Library of Medicine (NLM), part of the National Institutes of Health.  Some benefits to registering a study to clinicaltrials.gov are increased recruitment, increased visibility of your study and improving the prospect of being accepted to specific journals.
