Isn't that basically the same as them using a placebo? If just care has the same effect, then surely heavily monitoring them while providing a placebo drug should work.
- cassepipe 7mo agoThe problem is you can very obviously tell that you have a placebo because nothing is happening. Some studies mitigate that issue by giving a microdose but then maybe only the microsose is necessary? It seems like a hard problem
- cluckindan 7mo agoSuch studies typically use an active placebo, such as methylphenidate.
