Blinded or Nonblinded Randomized Controlled Trials in Rehabilitation Research: A Conceptual Analysis Based on a Systematic Review
- Objective Some recent studies suggest that double blinding should not be considered a validity criterion in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on real-life circumstances. This study aims to assess whether blinding vs. nonblinding have been analyzed conceptually in the rehabilitation literature. Propositions on the role of blinding in RCTs on rehabilitation are presented based on the conceptual analysis.
