An experimental design in which neither the participants nor the researchers know who is receiving the treatment versus the placebo.
From 'double' (two) + 'blind' (unable to see). Both sides are 'blind' to the group assignment.
Double-blind means nobody knows who got the real treatment — not the patients, not the doctors. This prevents bias from sneaking into the results.
