What are the differences between control group or experient group?

can you give me details|||A group of people are separated into two different groups: the controlled group and the experiment group. The controlled group is the group that receives the normal type of treatment. For example, if two groups were told that they would receive medicine for a headache the controll group would get something like Advil. The emperiment group would get the placebo pill (like a piece of candy). Essentially, the control group receives normal treatment as where the experimental group get the same treatment as well but with some slight alterations to fit the experiment.


Hope this helps.|||Within testing for new things, in the main drug treatments, there are two groups set up.


Group 1 is given the normal treatment, or a placebo, like Kevin said, something of which the results and effects are known, whilst group 2 is given the experimental drug or treatment.


Neither group members are told who has the experimental treatment, or the normal treatment, so that all results are reported back as the true effects the treatment has had.


Hope this helps,
