Placebo-controlled
The study compares the treatment against a dummy treatment.
What it means
A placebo-controlled study includes at least one group receiving a placebo, so the treatment group can be compared against it.
Why it matters if you take part
It tells you a placebo group exists, so there is a chance of being assigned to it. The consent process will tell you the odds before you decide.
