    GlossaryTreatment Efficacy (Effectiveness of Treatment)

    ability of a treatment to produce desired results in trials

    Treatment Efficacy refers to the ability of a medical treatment or intervention to produce the desired beneficial effect under ideal and controlled conditions, such as in clinical trials. It is a measure of how well a treatment works in a controlled environment, which is different from "effectiveness," which measures how well it works in real-world settings.
