What is a double dummy trial?
During the clinical trial, all patients are given both placebo and active doses in alternating periods of time.
Why is it important to use the placebo in the phase 3 trial?
so that you can compare the results with the real medicine.

What is a blind clinical trial?
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.

Is it ethical to use placebo in clinical trial what is your opinion and what do cioms and ich guidelines mention in this regard?
Placebo is a dose of an inactive pill or other type of drug, used in drug testing to control for psychological effects of taking medicine. Its use is debated in clinical trials, but the practice of prescribing placebo for patients is far more controversial.
Why wouldn't a doctor be notified if a patient is getting a placebo or a treatment?
In a double-blind test, if the doctor treating a patient knows whether the patient is getting a real treatment or not, they may (perhaps unconsciously) treat the patient differently, or worse let slip that the patient is taking the placebo. This will affect the results (as it changes the effect of the placebo) and can ruin a drug trial.
What is spicked placebo recovery method?
The spiked placebo recovery method is a technique used in clinical trials and research to assess the effectiveness of a treatment by introducing a "spike" of an active substance into a placebo group. This approach helps to distinguish between the actual effects of the treatment and the psychological effects of believing one is receiving treatment. By comparing outcomes between the spiked placebo group and the treatment group, researchers can better evaluate the true efficacy of the intervention being studied. This method can help in understanding the dynamics of placebo responses and their potential impact on trial results.
What represented the placebo?
the pill that represented the placebo
How many people were given the placebo?
To provide an accurate answer, I would need specific details about the study or clinical trial in question, as the number of participants given a placebo can vary widely depending on the research design. Typically, clinical trials report this information in their results section, where they detail the number of participants assigned to both the treatment and placebo groups. If you have a particular study in mind, please provide more context.
Why are scientist using a placebo?
Scientists use a placebo to check that the variable they are changing actually is responsible for the results they see. It is like a control experiment, allowing you to compare the trial with it to see if there is any effect. It also counteracts the "placebo effect". For example, this is when someone taking a drug calims they "feel better" despite the drug not actually having any effect. Therefore, by giving some test subjects a placebo and some the drug being tested and not telling them which is which, you can eliminate the placebo effect from the test.
