Preferred term

double-blinded study  

Definition

  • A randomized clinical trial is regarded as the most highly influential study design that provides the highest level of evidence in the assessment of therapeutic outcome in medical science because it increases the validity of the study by eliminating potential study-related biases. However, to address potential study-related biases, various criteria have been established to maintain such high level of evidence and are largely based on the quality of the trial.
