Description: 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.
