The advantage of a double-blind study lies in the fact that because nobody involved is aware of who is receiving the genuine treatment and who is receiving a [[placebo]], there is a better chance of the study yielding meaningful results. If the treatment being tested is effective, experimenters are more likely to see a clearer indication of this when using this method.
