Double blind study means:

Blinding: Blinding can be done in three ways: (a) Single blind trial: The trial is to planned that the participant is not aware whether he belongs to the study group or control group. (b) Double blind trial: The trial is to planned that neither the investigator nor the participant is aware of the group allocation and the treatment received. (c) Triple blind trial: The participant, the investigator and the person analyzing the data are all "blind'. Ideally, of course, triple blinding should be used, but double blinding is the most frequently used method.
