trial use to test a medication, procedure, or new type of equipment or apparatus Explanation: The treatment can refer to a medication, or new type of equipment or apparatus or a new type of procedure. Here are some examples from US Govt websites: Participants were randomly assigned to receive one of two regimens: • Current standard treatment regimen: A self-administered daily dose of isoniazid taken for 9 months • Study treatment regimen: A once-weekly dose of rifapentine and isoniazid taken for 3 months, and given with supervision (called directly observed therapy) http://www.cdc.gov/nchhstp/newsroom/docs/PREVENT-TB-Factshee... All study staff received copies of the standardized Adverse Event and Incident Reporting Form. Problems reported using this form included beneficiary death, hospitalization, adverse reaction to medications or other study treatment, or other unexpected events potentially related to the study that placed study participants or staff at risk for harm. http://socialsecurity.gov/disabilityresearch/documents/MHTS_... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 5 hrs (2012-05-15 15:45:16 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The following is a clinical study that involves an array of treatment as part of the "study treatment." "Are there any negative effects from taking part in the study? Psychotherapy, interviews, assessments, and urine collection pose limited risks. You may become uncomfortable while being asked personal questions, but the interviewers and counselors are trained to recognize this and to provide support." Attend study treatment sessions for approximately 6 weeks in addition to your regular treatment." http://ww2.drugabuse.gov/ctn/ProtocolBrochures/58_Trauma_pat... |
