Randomization in Clinical Trials
Randomization in Clinical Trials is the process of assigning clinical trial participants to treatment groups. Randomization process gives each participant a known (equal) chance of being assigned to any of the groups. Successful Randomization requires that the group assignment cannot be predicted in advance. Randomization is one of the cornerstones of clinical trials, ensuring unbiased and reliable results. By randomly assigning participants to different treatment groups, researchers can minimize the influence of confounding variables and achieve comparable groups. This process enhances the validity of the trial outcomes, enabling a clearer assessment of the treatment's true effects. Randomization also helps in balancing known and unknown factors among the groups, thus increasing the robustness of the data. Now what would an article be without some code.. so here goes Below is an example of a simple randomization algorithm in Java that allocates participants into two groups, A ...
