the double-blind study is a type of controlled scientific study in which neither the patient nor the researcher knows which treatment the patient is receiving. this type of study reduces the biases that may exist in research and allows for more accurate data to be collected. the double-blind method ensures that the results of the study are objective and not based on preconceived beliefs of the researcher or patient.
