An interesting aspect of placebo is that supposedly the strength of the effect has been increasing in the last decades. So much so that quite a few approved medications would likely not get approved anymore, because their effect would not be strong enough compared to the placebo effect.
- boomboomsubban 4y agoThat doesn't make sense. If the approval process were happening now, the new trials would have the drug benefit from the higher placebo effect.
