I want to know if a medication has the desired effect. I'm going to give half the subjects the 'live' med, and half will get a placebo. The subjects will not know which one they are getting. That's one level of "blind". Studies show that there is a measurable affect based on the fact that the person distributing the med's knows who is getting the med and who is getting the placebo. So I am going to package the med's and give them to the distributing nurse, and the nurse will not know who is getting the med and who is getting the placebo. That is "double blind" model.
A double-blind study means that neither the test subject (human) or the researcher administering the study knows whether the test subject is receiving the experimental treatment or the control treatment.
Often in human drug tests, the control treatment will be a placebo.
This ensures that neither party can make any expectations as to whether they should or shouldn't be seeing results. This is important because sometimes researchers will botch their results to coincide with their hypothesis. This also ensures that both control and experimental groups experience the "placebo effect" more or less equally
A double blind trial means that both the subject and the researcher are unaware of which subjects are being given a placebo and which are recieving the trial drug.
This is aimed at reducing the amount of bias in the trial.
When doing an experiment that involves human beings, such as testing an experimental drug, the experimenter and the subject may, even subconsciously, set expectations as to what the result will be. Some subjects will receive the trial drug, while others receive a placebo (a substance that has no effect). In a double-blind test, neither the experimenter nor the subject knows which is which, removing the possibility of subconscious bias affecting the results.
This strict type of clinical trial eliminates any possibility of bias. Neither the participant or the researcher knows if the treatment or a placebo has been administered.
The study team nor the subject is aware who is getting the study drug vs the placebo
A double-blind study may be augmented by a cross-over experiment, in which experimental subjects unknowingly become control subjects, and vice versa, at some point in the study
A blind trial is a trial in which the subject does not know if he is part of the experimental group or the control group. In the case of a pharmaceutical trial, a blind study would be one in which the patients participating in the study would not know if they were being given the actual drug or a placebo. A double-blind trial is one in which neither the patients nor the doctors involved in the study know which patients are in the control group and which patients are in the experimental group.

A double dummy study is a technique in administering supplies in a clinical trial. It refers to a method of blinding wherein the placebo is administered to both treatment groups.

In a single blind study, the subject being studied does not know whether he is part of the experimental group or control group, but the researcher recording the results does know. In a double blind, neither the subject nor the observer knows to which group in the experiment the subject belongs.
In single blind studies, the experimenter (or observer) is aware of who or what belongs to the control group and the experimental group.In double blind studies, the experimenter is not aware of who/what belongs to which group. This is to eliminate the subjective bias an experimenter may have.
This type of study is known as a double-blind study. It helps to minimize bias by ensuring that neither the experimenter nor the participants can influence the results based on their expectations or knowledge of who is in each group.

Some disadvantages of a double-blind study include increased complexity and cost due to the need for additional measures to maintain blinding, potential challenges in implementing blinding in certain study designs or interventions, and the possibility of unblinding if not carefully managed, which could introduce bias into the results.
A double blind surgery is not possible when the medical intervention a patient is getting cannot be kept from them, such as a surgery. Both the scientist and the participant in the trial know exactly what the participant is getting done in the trial.
The study is called a double-blind study. This helps to reduce bias and ensure that the results of the study are not influenced by the expectations or beliefs of either the subjects or the experimenters.

A blind trial is a trial in which the subject does not know if he is part of the experimental group or the control group. In the case of a pharmaceutical trial, a blind study would be one in which the patients participating in the study would not know if they were being given the actual drug or a placebo. A double-blind trial is one in which neither the patients nor the doctors involved in the study know which patients are in the control group and which patients are in the experimental group.
