- tokenadult 15y agoThis is a question with a remarkably easy answer: http://www.sciencebasedmedicine.org/index.php/placebo-effect-for-pain/ http://www.sciencebasedmedicine.org/index.php/placebo-effect... http://www.sciencebasedmedicine.org/index.php/placebo-effects-revisited/ http://www.sciencebasedmedicine.org/index.php/placebo-effect... http://www.sciencebasedmedicine.org/index.php/the-placebo-effect/ http://www.sciencebasedmedicine.org/index.php/the-placebo-ef... http://www.sciencebasedmedicine.org/index.php/placebo-effects-without-deception-well-not-exactly/ http://www.sciencebasedmedicine.org/index.php/placebo-effect... Placebo effects are strongest for patient self-reported subjective symptoms (classically, pain) and weakest for objective clinical signs measured by experienced observers. By the way, the co-author of the reported study should not have been taken seriously by a journalist as a medical researcher. http://www.sciencebasedmedicine.org/index.php/dummy-medicine-dummy-doctors-and-a-dummy-degree-part-2-0-harvard-medical-school-and-the-curious-case-of-ted-kaptchuk-omd/ http://www.sciencebasedmedicine.org/index.php/dummy-medicine...
