Q. Which of the following is an experiment in which participants and research assistants do not know if they are in the experimental or the control group?
Terms in this set (15) In double-blind experiments, the participants also do not know if they are in the experimental or the control group.
Q. What is placebo control group?
Placebo-controlled: A term used to describe a method of research in which an inactive substance (a placebo) is given to one group of participants, while the treatment (usually a drug or vaccine) being tested is given to another group.
Q. Why is a placebo used in double-blind drug test?
A double-blind study means that both the researchers and the people taking part in a study do not know if they have been given the investigational drug or the placebo. This ensures that the researchers treat all of the participants in the same way, regardless of the treatment they are receiving.
Q. What are the two major types of placebo control studies?
Two major types of planned experimental studies are: randomized controlled trials (RCTs/clinical trials) and community trials (community intervention trials). The basic difference between them is the unit of analysis; in RCTs, this unit is the individual whereas in community trials it is the group.
Q. What is double-blind placebo-controlled?
Thus, a double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial is a medical study involving human participants in which neither side knows who’s getting what treatment and placebo are given to a control group.
Q. What is FDA 510k approval?
A 510(k) is a premarketing submission made to FDA to demonstrate that the device to be marketed is as safe and effective, that is, substantially equivalent (SE), to a legally marketed device that is not subject to premarket approval (PMA).
Q. What is the difference between FDA approved and cleared?
Clearance: When a medical device is cleared, this means it has undergone a 510(k) submission, which FDA has reviewed and provided clearance. Approval: For Class III medical devices to be legally marketed they must undergo a rigorous review and approval process.
Q. What are examples of medical devices?
Examples are ultrasound and MRI machines, PET and CT scanners, and x-ray machines. Treatment equipment includes infusion pumps, medical lasers and LASIK surgical machines. Life support equipment is used to maintain a patient’s bodily function.
