Blind food challenge testing with wide-open eyes.

Author: BahnaS L

Clinical TrialA clinical trial is a planned study conducted on humans to evaluate the efficacy and safety of pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and treatment methods. It aims to explore the possibilities of new treatments and improve the health of patients.
Journal ArticleAn article published in an academic or professional journal that reports original research or scholarly analysis.
Randomized Controlled TrialA clinical trial that randomly assigns participants to treatment and control groups to evaluate the effects of an intervention.

Overview

The most accurate way to confirm a food allergy is through a double-blind, placebo-controlled challenge test. However, single-blind testing is often sufficient in routine clinical practice.

Care should be taken in planning, conducting, and interpreting these tests to ensure accuracy.
