What are double-blind placebo-controlled studies?
What will be an ideal response?
In double-blind placebo-controlled studies, neither the subjects nor the researchers are aware of who is receiving treatment, and such studies are therefore considered the gold standard of experimental research. These studies make it possible to determine how the treatment affects treatment and control groups. Double-blind placebo-controlled studies are superior to observational and epidemiological research which do not include a treatment.
