Clinical trials are used to test drug therapy but the principles of a trial may be applied to the assessment of any treatment (although the essential formality of a trial might confuse and irritate a general practitioner involved as a participant or reader of results). This is the first of two articles which aim to reconcile the theory of formal clinical trials and the practice of medicine.
临床试验用于测试药物治疗,但试验的原则可应用于任何治疗方法的评估(尽管试验的基本形式可能会让作为参与者或结果读者的全科医生感到困惑和恼火)。这是两篇文章中的第一篇,旨在调和正式临床试验理论与医学实践。
