A placebo, or dummy pill, is an inactive version of the treatment being tested in a clinical trial. Placebos are designed to look exactly like the test treatment, but they lack the active chemical ingredient. Placebos are used to ensure that any measured benefit of the test treatment is due to the active chemical ingredient and not simply to the act of participating in the study.
