clinical trial

In medicine, the evaluation of the effectiveness of medical treatment in a systematic fashion. Clinical trials compare new treatments with established treatments or placebos under standardized conditions. Such treatments may be drugs or surgical procedures. Ethical standards are maintained by ethics committees and they also ensure that the clinical trial procedure is explained to patients. The system was established with the development of new medicines in the 1940s and 1950s.
