"Certain drugs have been found to interact with placebo" ??
- kragen 11y agoActive placebos are chosen to have side effects similar to the drug being tested.
- Phemist 11y agoThis was sloppy on my part. I meant "interact" in a statistical sense - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interaction_(statistics) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interaction_(statistics). I'm not a medical expert, so I'm a bit inconsistent in terminology, but have ran my fair share of (cognitive) psychological experiments (and developed methods for them), which rely on similar logic as to that of double-blind testing.
