@PloederlM And perhaps as we go further into studying how the placebo response works, we’ll find unmet/met human needs.
@PloederlM 1. Good for them to say placebo “response,” not “effect.” It’s in the patient, not the pill. 2. Effective control treatments mean smaller marginal effects for the experimental Rx. Larger and larger sample sizes are needed to detect, more and more trials are inconclusive.
