Your question is a little ambiguous, so let me explain two points. First, most scientific experiments show correlation between two events, but you cannot always infer that there is a causal relationship. Let me explain. Suppose A and B always occur together. Dose that mean A causes B? Maybe, but not necessarily so. Perhaps B causes A. Or perhaps A and B are both caused by some other factor C.
In your question you said that the experiment showed that one variable CAUSED the changes in the other. Keep in mind that you would need VERY strong evidence to make that conclusion. If it were valid, though, you could say there is a causal relationship. Again, to reiterate, most experiments detect correlation, not causation.
