Randomised Controlled Trial | Dr. Trina Sengupta, MBBS, MD, DNB

In this video, Dr. Trina Sengupta, Senior Resident, ESIC Joka, Kolkata, explains the concept of the randomized controlled trial (RCT) in a clear and simplified way. A randomized controlled trial (RCT) is a robust experimental design that compares an intervention group (receiving the treatment) with a control group (receiving a placebo or standard treatment) by randomly allocating participants to each group. This random assignment is crucial for minimizing bias and establishing a clear cause-and-effect relationship between the intervention and the observed outcome, making RCTs the "gold standard" for generating high-quality evidence in clinical medicine.

This video is especially helpful for MBBS students, NEET PG/INICET aspirants, UPSC candidates, public health professionals, and research scholars preparing for exams or research projects.
