In a balanced placebo design, both groups receive a balanced combination of both the actual stimulus and the placebo stimulus.

The double-blind and single-blind designs refer to the blinding of either the researcher or the participants from knowing which group they are in, which is not directly relevant to the balanced placebo design. Pre-post design refers to a study design where measurements are taken before and after an intervention, which is not necessarily the case in a balanced placebo design.
