Highly Sensitive Search Strategy (2005 revision) for finding randomized controlled trials in PubMed.

For help with PubMed go to the PubMed Tutorials.
MyNCBI tutorials on how to save searches and receive email alerts.

PubMed Study Types Search Strategies Includes search strategies for finding
cross-sectional studies, cohort studies, longitudinal studies, follow up studies, prospective studies, case control studies, retrospective studies, practice guidelines, case series, systematic reviews, and randomized controlled trials.
