BLINDING
Blinded or masked clinical trials is when information is withheld that could influence the outcome until after the trial is completed. Some clinical trials are blinded. In single-blinded trials, the participant does not know if they are receiving the medication or intervention being tested. In double-blind trials, neither the research team nor the participant know which treatment is being received. Blinding can reduce bias while the trial is being conducted.
