Controlled

Controlled refers to a term used in various fields, including medicine, to denote a situation or condition that is under management or regulation. In the context of medicine, it often refers to a disease or condition that is being effectively managed through treatment or intervention.

Medical Context

In the medical field, a controlled condition is one where the symptoms or progression of a disease or disorder are being effectively managed through treatment. This can include conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and asthma, among others. The term does not necessarily mean that the condition has been cured, but rather that it is being managed in such a way that it does not adversely affect the individual's quality of life or lead to further health complications.

Controlled Substances

The term controlled is also used in the context of controlled substances. These are drugs and other substances whose possession and use are regulated by law due to their potential for abuse and addiction. Controlled substances are categorized into different schedules based on their medical use and potential for abuse.

Controlled Trials

In clinical research, a controlled trial is a type of study in which participants are assigned to one of two or more groups: the experimental group, which receives the treatment being studied, and the control group, which does not. The results are then compared to determine the effectiveness of the treatment.
