Also, the specific substance used as a control in experiments testing the effect of a particular drug. Term is used selectively for studies of the placebo effect or other methodological issues. |
| Definition (CSP) | pills, injections, or treatments missing the active component of interest, administered to experimental control groups to correct for nonspecific effects. |
