Placebo is a dummy drug, which is identical in appearance to the drug under study but will have no therapeutic property.
Placebos are used in clinical trials in order compare the effect of drugs on humans. The placebos are given to the control group and the drug is given to the treatment group.
The effects on both the groups are then documented and compared to see the action of the drug in humans.
Placebos are used in randomized, controlled trials.
