Glossary Randomized Controlled Trials

scientific studies comparing treatments by randomly assigning participants

Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) are scientific studies designed to test the effectiveness of medical treatments or interventions by randomly assigning participants to either a treatment group or a control group. This randomization helps eliminate bias, ensuring that any differences observed between the groups can be attributed to the treatment itself rather than other factors. RCTs are considered the gold standard in clinical research for establishing causality and assessing the efficacy and safety of new therapies.
