The double-dummy technique. If two drugs A and B cannot be made to look exactly alike, it is nevertheless possible to compare them in a double-blind manner by giving A with a placebo of B, and B with a placebo of A. Each patient is thus given two drugs simultaneously, an active drug and a placebo, and the two treatments are indistinguishable. 2, record 1, English, - double%2Ddummy%20technique

Utilisation d'un double placebo. S'il est impossible de donner à deux médicaments A et B exactement le même aspect pour les comparer en double-aveugle, on peut associer à A un placebo de B et à B un placebo de A. Chaque malade prend donc simultanément deux médicaments, un verum et un placebo et les traitements sont indiscernables. 2, record 1, French, - technique%20du%20double%20placebo
