What Does RCT Stand For?

RCT stands for Randomized Clinical Trial

RCT, or Randomized Clinical Trial, is a research study design used to evaluate the efficacy and safety of medical interventions by randomly assigning participants to either the treatment group or the control group. This method minimizes bias and ensures that the effects observed can be attributed to the intervention being tested, making RCTs the gold standard in clinical research for determining causal relationships.
