How are Controlled Settings Implemented in Clinical Trials?
In clinical trials, controlled settings are achieved through various methods, including randomization, blinding, and the use of control groups. Randomization ensures that participants are randomly assigned to different treatment groups, reducing selection bias. Blinding, where neither participants nor researchers know who is receiving the treatment or placebo, minimizes bias in reporting and assessing outcomes. Control groups, which receive a standard treatment or placebo, provide a baseline for comparing the effects of the new treatment.
