Discussion

Non-ProZ.com Jul 10, 2003:
Not sure about double simulation! Well... I know that "double simulation" would be an obvious solution. However, I have never heard this expression used in the context of a clinical trial, and a Web search did not reveal such a usage either, so I feel a little wary about using this unless I can be really convinced of it. I'm wondering if it could be "cross-over", since "randomized, double-blind cross-over trial" is a very common concept, but I don't want to rely on guesswork alone.

double-dummy

I have encountered this expression in sone texts and it may be applicable in this context. Not exactly sure, though.
Peer comment(s):

agree OTMed (X) : Agreed, one comment though. Correct translation of the term 'double dummy' is 'próba podwójnie pozorowana'. As 'symulowany' is quite close to 'pozorowany' I think that 'double dummy' is the closest educated guess.
