in Perioden mit Einzel-Plazebo-Behandlungen
Explanation:

Etwas klarer, dafür aber länger: in Perioden,in denen der Patient sich einer einzelnen Plazebo (Dummy) Behandlung unterwirft

Als Dummy wird eine Behandlung bezeichnet, bei der die Verabreichungsform und –art eines aktiven Wirkstoffs/Medikaments imitiert werden, der Patient jedoch eine neutrale Substanz (z.B. Zuckerpille) einnimmt.

die Verabreichung *eines* Medikaments (Ggs dazu: double dummy, bei der zwei Behandlungen mit Plazebos parallel stattfinden)

Dummy:
"A counterfeit object;" a form of treatment - as in an experimental investigation of drug effects - which is intended to have no effects, to be biologically inert. The dummy treatment should mimic in every way (dosage form, route of administration, etc.) the purportedly active ingredient upon which the effectiveness of the active treatment is expected to depend. In contrast to a dummy, a placebo is expected to have an effect through the agency of "suggestion" or other psychological mechanisms, even though the effects of placebos may be psychological or physical. Dummies may, of course, have the effects of placebos, but it is useful to be aware of the difference expected to exist between the two.

Double Dummy: A technique for retaining the blind when administering supplies in a clinical trial, when the two treatments cannot be made identical. Supplies are prepared for Treatment A (active and indistinguishable placebo) and for Treatment B (active and indistinguishable placebo). Subjects then take two sets of treatment; either A (active) and B (placebo) or A (placebo) and B (active).
