Also, the complete list of inclusion and exclusion criteria for a given study is often not listed due to its length. A visit to determine an individual’s eligibility may be required. A placebo is an inactive substance or treatment that looks the same as, and is given the same way as, an active drug or treatment being tested. The effects of the active drug or treatment are compared to the effects of the placebo.
