- Definition "clinical trial in which subjects are randomly assigned to one of two groups: one (the experimental group) receiving the intervention that is being tested, and the other (the comparison group or control) receiving an alternative (conventional) treatment" Reference "COM-Terminology Coordination, based on: J M Kendall. 'Designing a research project: randomised controlled trials and their principles' (18.3.2024). Emergency Medicine Journal 2003;20:164-168."
- Comment "Randomisation helps prevent bias (i.e. when a trial's results are affected by human choices or other factors not related to the treatment being tested).The selection is usually done by computer. Certain details (such as age, gender or the stage of illness) are put into the computer first to guarantee that the different groups in a trial are as similar as possible and that the treatments they receive can be compared objectively. Neither the researchers nor the participants can choose their group.Normally the term describes studies that compare multiple treatment groups with each other (and which don't have a control group), although it is often used synonymously with randomised controlled trial."
