study in which neither investigators nor subjects know which drug the subject is receiving
Used with respect to a randomized trial, a randomized trial is Double Blind if neither the patient or his doctor are told which Arm of the trial he is on This information is kept at a central office, and is typically revealed only at the end of the trial The purpose is to prevent any bias in treatment or reporting of results from creeping in See also Blind
a technique used in modern scientific research to separate facts from the hopes and wishes of both scientists and experimental subjects A treatment which is to be tested is administered by scientists who do not know whether they are using the active treatment or the inactive placebo The experimental subjects don't know which is which, wither The test results are evaluated by scientists who also do not know which group received the active treatment and which the placebo At the end of the experiment, the secret code is broken, and the responses of the subjects to the real experimental treatment are compared with their responses to the placebo
a type of clinical trial in which neither the doctor nor the patient knows whether the patient is being administered a placebo or the test drug
a test procedure in which the identity of those receiving the intervention is concealed from both the administrators and the subjects until after the test is completed; designed to reduce or eliminate bias in the results
refers to a study in which neither the investigators administering the treatment nor the participants know which participants are receiving the experimental treatment and which are receiving the placebo
= A clinical study where neither the doctor nor the patient knows whether the patient is getting the regular drug or a sugar pill Both the doctor and the patient are, therefore, blind Double-Helix = The best way to visualize this is to imagine wrapping a ribbon with wire in both edges around your arm No overlapping This will be a double-helix when you remove your arm This is what DNA looks like
a type of scientific experiment in which neither the subjects nor the researchers know who is receiving an active substance and who is receiving a placebo Researchers who do not know which subjects received the active substance then usually evaluate the data generated from the experiment This type of experiment helps to eliminate personal bias from research
An experimental design, often used in drug research, in which neither the investigator nor the patients know which subjects are in the treatment and which in the nontreatment condition until the experiment has been completed
A single blind study means that someone (patient or physician) does not know what is going on Double blind means that at least two people (patient and physician) don't know what's going on Triple blind might mean that the paper is written before the results are tabulated The whole point is to prevent bias
