Evidence Based Medicine

Many medical and surgical treatments offered in the UK have been assessed by NICE (National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence). NICE Reports that assess the benefits and risks of specific treatments are available on the internet (www.nice.org.uk).

NICE also reports on some treatments that are still considered experimental: this means that there is still insufficient evidence for benefit compared with conventional treatment, but there may be some kind of advantage in some clinical situations. Usually in this situation, there are ongoing trials assessing outcome and risks of the treatment in a large group of patient volunteers. It is important to remember that the risks as well as benefits are largely undefined in relation to proven treatments, and that not all patients are suitable or eligible to enter trials.
