| | Placebo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Experimenters typically use placebos in the context of a clinical trial, in which a "test group" of patients receives the therapy being tested, and a "control group" receives the placebo. | | | Ethicists have also raised concerns on the use of placebos in those circumstances in which a standard treatment exists unless there are genuine doubts of the effectivity of such standard treatment. | | | Bioethicists have raised diverse concerns on the use of placebos in modern medicine and research. |

| | More on the Placebo Effect by Jeremy Donovan |
| | Placebo effects are influenced by patient-healer interpersonal relationships and are increased in pleasant, nonthreatening, efficient clinical settings with doctors who are perceived by patients as warm, likable, and interested in them. | | | Placebo stimuli must reflect a credible therapy for the patient. | | | For example, placebos were not effective in studies related to intra-arterial ambulatory blood pressure, and were not effective with obsessive-compulsive disorder. |

| | The placebo effect may be a measurement of changed behavior affected by a belief in the treatment. | | | Those who believe there is scientific evidence for the placebo effect point to clinical studies, many of which use a control group treated with a placebo. | | | Dermatitis medicamentosa and angioneurotic edema have resulted from placebo therapy, according to Dodes. |

| | The placebo response is both a conscious response to the meaning of therapy and a conditioned response to treatment from a health professional, some researchers contend. | | | Scientists at the conference reported findings suggesting that response to a placebo may rest on both the meaning that a person associates with a particular treatment and his or her previous experience with medication. | | | Likewise, placebos that people think are brand-name aspirins reduce headache pain more effectively than placebos disguised as generic aspirin. |

| | In these studies, the ethical dilemma of using a placebo is often mitigated by more humane and participant-friendly clinical trials procedures. | | | An example of such a procedure is the cross-over feature, in which those who are not responding well to a clinical trial medication (either because they have drawn a placebo or because they are simply intolerant to the drug used) are allowed to "cross-over" to a different drug in another arm of the study. | | | A placebo-controlled study is such a clinical trial, in which a placebo is used as the study |

| | NIH Guide: THE PLACEBO EFFECT IN CLINICAL PRACTICE |
| | Placebo effects can be defined as the positive physiological or psychological changes associated with the use of inert medications, sham procedures, or therapeutic symbols within a healthcare encounter. | | | The participants developed 3 sets of recommendations: (1) to further elucidate the basis of placebo effects, (2) to investigate the use of placebo effects in clinical practice; and (3) to study the placebo effects as they relate to methodology and ethics of clinical trials. | | | An important goal is to understand what factors are necessary to elicit a placebo effect in clinical practice so that the benefits of the therapeutic intervention can be enhanced to improve health and promote wellness. |

| | The placebo has long been used in research trials to objectively test the efficacy of a new health care treatment, such as a drug. | | | Critics point out that the methodology used by the medical philosophers was flawed, and that the placebo effect has been well documented for many years. | | | Estimates vary, but around one third of people taking placebos for complaints (including pain, headache and seasickness) will experience relief from symptoms. |

| | MDD July/August 1999: The Mysterious Placebo Effect |
| | Like therapeutic effects, adverse responses to a placebo may have many determinants, including negative expectations or conditioning that might result from a distrust of doctors, many failed treatment attempts, or the side-effect warnings included in the informed consent. | | | Three major mechanisms have been proposed to explain placebo-evoked improvement: release of endorphins in response to the placebo stimulus (the “opioid model”), a learned response to medical intervention (the “conditioning model”), or a more consciously mediated response (the “meaning” or expectancy model) (4). | | | Outside the context of modern clinical trials, “placebo” has been a term reserved for characterizing the substandard practices of other less ethical or knowledgeable healers, if not outright quacks and frauds. |

| | The Healing Power of Placebos |
| | But placebo researcher Michael Jospe disagrees with what he calls this "strict, grumpy approach that concludes that any doctor who uses placebos is acting unethically." Some circumstances, he says, justify this kind of benevolent deception--like when a patient insists on a medicine that is unnecessary and carries needless risks. | | | The placebo controls that have traditionally been used to test medications have recently been used, too, to test the effectiveness of surgical procedures. | | | One way to account for such variables in a drug study: give one group of patients placebo and another the experimental drug, and see if the drug group's health improvements sufficiently surpass those from placebo. |
