Randomization is a process of assigning the treatments to various experimental units in a purely chance manner to the control and treatment groups in clinical trials. The process of reducing the experimental error by dividing the relatively heterogeneous experimental units in to homogeneous blocks is known as local control. This paper describes some of the main steps in those performing reviewers of randomized controlled trials (RCT).
