Researchers are testing the effectiveness of a drug intended to reduce symptoms of Crohn's disease. Many sufferers of Crohn's disease are recruited for the effort and the group that receives the placebo is the control group.

A treatment for hair loss in men is being tested. Men of the same age range are gathered. One group receives an application with the active ingredient while the control group receives an application that appears the same but does not have the active ingredient in it.
