Treatment

Suppose I am describing an experiment,

In this experiment, I created two treatments: treatment A and treatment B.

After this, do I need to put 'the' in front of treatment A and treatment B every time I refer to them?
For example,

In the treatment A, the subjected were treated with .... while in the treatment B, ...

Is your answer same even when I give a name to the treatments? For example,

In this experiment, I created two treatments: starvation treatemtn and satiation treatment.

Similarly,


In this experiment, I created two treatments: Treatment A and Treatment B.
In Treatment A, the subjected were treated with .... while in Treatment B, ...

The idea behind this is "Treatment A" (or starvation treatment) is intended as the unique name of the treatment (like. Mr. Smith)...
