Review
Review of 39 years of randomized controlled trials in the British Journal of General Practice.
Randomized controlled trials are being used increasingly to evaluate the effectiveness of health care interventions, including those in primary care. ⋯ Some imaginative solutions to the logistic difficulties of conducting randomized trials in general practice were noted. These may serve as an incentive to those undertaking such studies in the future.
