Som ni ser har man i exemplen ovan behållit den engelska termen. Jag efterlyser ett gångbart svenskt alternativ om ett sådant finns.

double dummy

Explanation:
I would retain the English term (it dummy doens't translate well in this context in Swedish).

See explaination/definition:
"A technique for retaining the blind when administering supplies in a clinical trial, when the two treatments cannot be made identical. Supplies are prepared for Treatment A (active and indistinguishable placebo) and for Treatment B (active and indistinguishable placebo). Subjects then take two sets of treatment; either A (active) and B (placebo) or A (placebo) and B (active)."

a note: although 'dubbeldummy' could be used, (as double-blind is translated as 'dubbelblind'), ie changed spelling of dubble, I would suggest this would look odd in Swedish. (Even if this is sometimes done in Dutch).
