תקציר	A double-blind control group experimental design is a rigorous experimental structure in which participants are randomly assigned to at least one treatment group and one control group, while both the participants and the researchers collecting or assessing outcomes are kept unaware of group assignment. By combining allocation concealment with blinding at two levels, the design minimizes expectancy bias, placebo effects, and assessor bias simultaneously, making it a cornerstone of high-quality intervention research in medicine, psychology, and the social sciences.	A randomized controlled trial (RCT) is the gold standard experimental design in clinical and health research, in which participants are randomly allocated to a treatment group or a control group so that the effect of an intervention can be measured with the highest possible degree of internal validity. The modern parallel-group RCT was formalized by Austin Bradford Hill and the Medical Research Council in their landmark streptomycin trial of 1948, and its reporting is governed today by the CONSORT 2010 guidelines (Schulz et al., 2010).
