They often compare a new or different treatmentSomething done with the aim of improving health or relieving suffering. For example, medicines, surgery, psychological and physical therapies, diet and exercise changes. with the best treatment currently available. This is to test whether the new or different treatment is safe, effective and any better than what is currently used.
