A randomized controlled trial (or randomized control trial;RCT) is a type of scientific (often medical) experiment, where the people being studied are randomly allocated one or other of the different treatments under study. The RCT is often considered the gold standard for a clinical trial. RCTs are often used to test the efficacy or effectiveness of various types of medical intervention and may provide information about adverse effects, such as drug reactions. Random assignment of intervention is done after subjects have been assessed for eligibility and recruited, but before the intervention to be studied begins.
Random allocation in real trials is complex, but conceptually, the process is like tossing a coin. After randomization, the two (or more) groups of subjects are followed in exactly the same way, and the only differences between the care they receive, for example, in terms of procedures, tests, outpatient visits, and follow-up calls, should be those intrinsic to the treatments being compared. The most important advantage of proper randomization is that it minimizes allocation bias, balancing both known and unknown prognostic factors, in the assignment of treatments.
A randomized controlled trial (RCT) is an experimental form of impact evaluation in which the population receiving the programme or policy intervention is chosen at random from the eligible population, and a control group is also chosen at random from the same eligible population. It tests the extent to which specific, planned impacts are being achieved. The distinguishing feature of an RCT is the random assignment of units (e.g. people, schools, villages, etc.) to the intervention or control groups. One of its strengths is that it provides a very powerful response to questions of causality, helping evaluators and programme implementers to know that what is being achieved is as a result of the intervention and not anything else.

What is a randomised trial? | Clinical Trials | Cancer Research UK
Find out how and why researchers use randomisation to test new treatments. All new treatments need to be tested in clinical trials to find out whether they work , what side effects they have and whether they are as good or better than the standard treatment available. After a long development process researchers use randomise trials to be sure that the results are correct and not biased for any reason.

Randomized Control Trials and Confounding
In this video, Dr Greg Martin describes how randomized control trials work and how they deal with confounding variables. This is episode three in a series of videos looking at epidemiology, research methods and study design in the context of global health.
Global health (and public health) is truly multidisciplinary and leans on epidemiology, health economics, health policy, statistics, ethics, demography.... the list goes on and on. This YouTube channel is here to provide you with some teaching and information on these topics.

The Gold Standard | What Are Randomised Controlled Trials and Why Are They Important?
Randomised controlled trials are regarded as the 'Gold Standard' for testing whether new treatments work. This short film from the Medical Research Council Clinical Trials Unit explains what they are, and why they are important.
#Clinicaltrials are a fundamental part of clinical #research. They are aimed at comparing a new treatment against the best available current standard #treatment. The aim is to try to see if the new treatment is safe and effective.
Clinical trials can be done in a variety of settings including; hospitals, communities, and doctors surgeries. They are essential in judging whether a new treatment is worth introducing for routine clinical practice.
