Résumé	Simulation-assisted confirmatory research integrates computational simulation — most commonly Monte Carlo methods — into a hypothesis-driven, confirmatory study design. Before or alongside empirical data collection, the researcher runs simulated data under specified model assumptions to establish expected parameter distributions, verify statistical power, and anticipate the behavior of the chosen analysis. The empirical findings are then evaluated against those simulation-derived benchmarks, strengthening the evidential value of confirmatory conclusions.	A randomized controlled trial (RCT) is the gold standard experimental design in clinical and health research, in which participants are randomly allocated to a treatment group or a control group so that the effect of an intervention can be measured with the highest possible degree of internal validity. The modern parallel-group RCT was formalized by Austin Bradford Hill and the Medical Research Council in their landmark streptomycin trial of 1948, and its reporting is governed today by the CONSORT 2010 guidelines (Schulz et al., 2010).
