It's the only way to discover if the medicine is any good or not. The tests have to be randomised so that each patient does not know whether he is receiving the medicine or just a placebo, and the person administering the dose to that patient must not know if it's the medicine or a placebo.

What is a nonsense in science?

Nonsense in science could for instance refer to a "scientific" study conducted without the use of scientific methods and protocols, which might create non-reproducable results. One example of a scientific method is the double blind experiment used in clinical studies. In such studies a new drug might be tested on a large group of patients where half receives the new drug and half receives a dud, such as sugar pills. The test is called a double blind because neither the patient or the doctor knows which patient receives the drug and who doesn't. This is to avoid placebo-effects or doctors screening certain patients from having an effect on the trial.
