Double Blind, Placebo

A Clinical trial is when they run trials to see the result of certain medicine on certain diseases. Oh and I might want to mention that there are specific requirements to be a part of a clinical trial. In that last week i learned that the term "Double-blind" means that the neither the patient, or the person giving the medicine, knows what is being given to who. The ones who know are the people who actually prescribe and prepare it. And the drug is given at the same time each day, everyday, for however long the clinical trial will last. In clinical trials, they use things called Placebos. For example, if someone was sick and went to the hospital, if it was a disease that needed to be studied, then that person could sign up for a clinical trial, where they give that person a type of medicine and other people placebos to see the different effects the medicine has than the placebo. The placebo doesn't actually effect the patient. They are used as the control in the experiment. Over all it was something i found interesting, and something that i'm glad that i learned.
