randomized
Description
Determined completely by chance.
For example, participants in a randomized clinical trial are randomly assigned to either the control group (those who do not receive the new way to prevent, find, treat or manage the disease that is being studied) or the experimental group (those who receive the new way to prevent, find, treat or manage the disease).
Randomization refers to the process of randomly assigning participants to either the control or experimental group.
