Not an expert, but I suspect that if there were a treatment that makes a clear difference, the whole disease+treatment combo would be well known by most doctors and the treatment would be widely suggested.
I could be wrong though: are there common instances of diseases with solid cures or treatments that many doctors generally misdiagnose or believe lack treatments?
I wouldn't be surprised in either direction.
- PaulKeeble 6y agoA huge number of healthcare systems around the world still use graded exercise therapy (and CBT) and that is known to actively hurt patients with the condition, so I don't think that is sure at all. You would have thought the basis of medicine where first do no harm might be their first instinct but it really isn't.
