This approach to medical practice is based on data verified by scientific and clinical studies. Here, the doctor makes decisions based on concrete evidence, rather than based on assumptions or previously accepted practices. Today it is the gold standard of healthcare, and it is on it that the work of Olympus Clinics Lights is built.
What is evidence-based medicine?
Evidence-based medicine (EBM) involves using the best available information from clinical trials to help doctors make informed decisions about the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of diseases.
The roots of evidence-based medicine go back to the deep past. Already in ancient times, doctors relied on empirical observations and experience. However, a systematic scientific approach began to take shape only in the middle of the 20th century.
One of the most important developments in the development of evidence-based medicine was the advent of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in the 1940s. For the first time in the history of medicine, scientists have begun to compare the effects of different treatments under controlled conditions. Thanks to this, today we can accurately assess the effectiveness of various medical interventions, separate really working methods from those that may be useless.
Every doctor at Olympus Clinic Lights focuses on three key components of evidence-based medicine:
The best scientific data. In evidence-based medicine, the doctor always focuses on the results of the latest research, which have been strictly verified.
Clinical experience of a specialist. These are many years of working with real patients, who helped the specialist develop a "flair" for difficult cases and the ability to make informed decisions even in ambiguous situations.
Features of the patient. Each patient is not just a person with a set of symptoms, but a person with their own fears, expectations and life experiences. We always discuss possible treatment options with the patient, their pros and cons, in order to jointly choose the approach that will be most comfortable and effective for a particular person.
Why is this important?
Imagine a patient comes to the doctor complaining of lower back pain. Such symptoms can be treated with various methods: from complete rest to physiotherapy or even surgery. However, with the development of evidence-based medicine, it has been found that most cases of lower back pain are caused by muscle spasms or inflammation. Studies show that moderate physical activity and physical therapy programs are more effective in such cases.
A doctor who works according to the principles of evidence-based medicine will not prescribe expensive examinations or aggressive treatment methods for everyone. Often, he will offer the patient mild physical activity, suitable rehabilitation programs, and this will be enough.
Features of the Olympus Clinic Lights approach
Our clinic works with the most difficult cases when other specialists refused or could not help. We don't just treat the symptoms — we identify the true causes of the disease and find solutions to improve the overall condition of the patient. For example, we carry out vaccination, choosing the optimal schedule of vaccinations and taking into account the health characteristics of each person in order to ensure maximum safety and effectiveness of procedures.

Minimum procedures, maximum effect
Too frequent and expensive examinations can not only harm the patient's wallet, but also add stress. Therefore, at Olympus Clinic Ogni, we adhere to the principle of reasonable sufficiency: we conduct only those examinations that are really necessary to establish a diagnosis.
An atmosphere of trust and comfort
Olympus Clinic Lights is not just a medical facility. It is a place where the patient and the doctor become partners on the path to health. We create an atmosphere in which the patient feels comfortable, can ask any questions and receive honest, detailed answers. Each of our doctors is a highly qualified specialist who not only treats, but also accompanies the patient at all stages of recovery.
Evidence—based medicine is a reliable and proven method that provides each patient with the best possible results. Olympus Clinic Lights actively uses this approach in its practice, combining experience, science and patient care. We are confident that the future of medicine lies precisely in this: a reasonable, scientifically based and personalized approach to everyone who seeks help.
