description: A work that reports on a clinical trial involving one or more test
treatments, at least one control treatment, specified outcome measures for evaluating
the studied intervention, and a bias-free method for assigning patients to the
test treatment. The treatment may be drugs, devices, or procedures studied for
diagnostic, therapeutic, or prophylactic effectiveness. Control measures include
placebos, active medicine, no-treatment, dosage forms and regimens, historical
comparisons, etc. When randomization using mathematical techniques, such as
the use of a random numbers table, is employed to assign patients to test or
control treatments, the trial is characterized as a RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIAL.
