Nonoperative research refers to studies and investigations that focus on alternative treatments and interventions that do not involve surgery. This area of research explores various non-surgical options for managing and treating medical conditions, injuries, and diseases. Nonoperative research often examines the effectiveness and safety of non-surgical approaches such as medications, physical therapy, lifestyle changes, and other conservative treatments. This research area is important for providing evidence-based recommendations for non-invasive or minimally invasive treatment options, ultimately improving patient outcomes and quality of care.
