If it's doesn't involve medicine, why the need for the placebo?

Please provide further details on exactly what the study is. Then we might be able to come up with a decent answer.

A placebo is a substitute similar to the real thing or the item being tested. Given a choice for surrogate appliance, just choose the one nearest to the test item. We can elaborate if you can explain your problem.
