Alternative medicine - Placebo effect
1 Use of placebos in order to achieve a placebo effect in integrative
medicine has been criticized as “diverting research time, money, and
other resources from more fruitful lines of investigation in order to
pursue a theory that has no basis in biology”.

Alternative medicine - Placebo effect
1 Another critic has argued that academic proponents of integrative medicine
sometimes recommend misleading patients by using known placebo treatments in order
to achieve a placebo effect. However, a 2010 survey of family physicians found that 56% of respondents said they had used a placebo in clinical practice as well. Eighty-
five percent of respondents believed placebos can have both psychological and
physical benefits.https://store.theartofservice.com/the-placebo-effect-toolkit.html
Placebo - Placebo effect and the brain
1 These changes can act upon the brain's early stages of information processing: Research using Event-
related potential|evoked brain potentials upon painful laser pulses, for example, finds placebo effects
upon the N2–P2, a biphasic negative–positive complex response, the N2 peak of which is at about 230 ms, and the P2 one at about 380 ms

1 Placebo effect consists of several different effects woven together, and
the methods of placebo administration may be as important
as the administration itself.

Placebo effect
1 Placebos are widely used in medical research and medicine, and the
placebo effect is a pervasive phenomenon; in fact, it is part of the
response to any active medical intervention.

Placebo effect
1 Most studies have attributed the difference from baseline until the end
of the trial to a placebo effect, but the reviewers examined studies
which had both placebo and untreated groups in order to
distinguish the placebo effect from the natural progression of the
disease.

Placebo effect - History
1 John Haygarth was the first to investigate the efficacy of the placebo effect in the 18th-
century

Placebo effect - History
1 Émile Coué, a France|French pharmacist, working as an apothecary at Troyes
between 1882 and 1910, also discovered the potency of the Placebo Effect. He
became known for reassuring his clients by praising each remedy's efficiency and
leaving a small positive notice with each given medication. His book Self-Mastery Through Conscious Autosuggestion was published in England (1920) and in the
United States (1922).https://store.theartofservice.com/the-placebo-effect-toolkit.html
Placebo effect - History
1 Beginning in the 1960s, the placebo effect became widely recognized and placebo controlled trials became the
norm in the approval of new medications.

Placebo effect - Mechanism of the effect
1 A 2001 meta-analysis of clinical trials with placebo groups and no-treatment groups found no evidence for a placebo effect on
objectively measured outcomes and possible small benefits in studies with
continuous subjective outcomes (particularly pain). A 2004 follow-up analysis
found similar results and increased evidence of bias in smaller trials that calls
into question the apparent placebo effect on subjective outcomes.

Placebo effect - Mechanism of the effect
1 Because the placebo response is simply the patient response that
cannot be attributed to an investigational intervention, there
are multiple possible components of a measured placebo effect
https://store.theartofservice.com/the-placebo-effect-toolkit.html
Placebo effect - Brain and body
1 Recent reviews have argued the placebo effect is due to top-down
control by the brain for immunity and pain
https://store.theartofservice.com/the-placebo-effect-toolkit.html
Placebo effect - Brain and body
1 A recent fMRI study has shown that a placebo can reduce pain-related neural activity in the spinal cord,
indicating that placebo effects can extend beyond the brain.

Placebo effect - Clinical significance
1 Another group of researchers noted the dramatically different conclusions
between these two sets of authors despite nearly identical meta-
analytic results, and suggested that placebo effects are indeed significant
but small in magnitude.

Placebo effect - Clinical significance
1 Other writers have argued that the placebo effect can be reliably
demonstrated under appropriate conditions.

Placebo effect - Clinical significance
1 Several clinical (physical placebos, patient-involved outcomes, falsely
informing patients there was no placebo) and methodological (small sample size, explicit aim of studying
the placebo effect) factors were associated with higher effects of
placebo

Placebo effect - Clinical significance
1 In 2013 Jeremy Howick et al. used Hróbjartsson Gøtzsche's data to
compare the magnitude of placebo effects with the magnitude of
treatment effects. They found a statistically significant difference between placebo and treatment effect sizes in trials with binary outcomes but not in trials with
subjective outcomes.https://store.theartofservice.com/the-placebo-effect-toolkit.html
Placebo effect - Doctor-patient relationship
1 * Roughly only 30% of the population seems susceptible to placebo effects,
and it is not possible to determine ahead of time whether a placebo will work or not. (However the placebo
effect is zero in studies of blood poisoning and up to 80% in studies of
wound on the duodenum).

Placebo effect - Genes
1 In social anxiety disorder (SAD) an inherited allele|variant of the gene for tryptophan hydroxylase 2 (enzyme that synthesizes the neurotransmitter
serotonin) is linked to reduced amygdala activity and greater susceptibility to the placebo effect.

Placebo effect - Genes
1 In a 2012 study, variations on the COMT (catechol-O-
methyltransferase) gene related to dopamine release are found to be
critical in the placebo effect among the patients with irritable bowel
syndrome participating in the trial, a research group in Harvard Medical
School reported

Placebo effect - Symptoms and conditions
1 The placebo effect occurs more strongly in some conditions than
others. Dylan Evans has suggested that placebos work most strongly
upon conditions such as pain, swelling, stomach ulcers, depression,
and anxiety that have been linked with activation of the Acute-phase
reaction|acute-phase response.

Placebo effect - Pain
1 The placebo effect is believed to reduce pain in two different ways. One way is by the placebo initiating the release of endorphins, which are natural pain killers produced by the brain. The
other way is the placebo changing the patient's perception of pain. A person might reinterpret a
sharp pain as uncomfortable tingling.[http://www.cancer.org/treatment/treatmentsandsideeffects/treatmenttypes/placebo-effect Placebo Effect]. Cancer.org. Retrieved on

Placebo effect - Depression
1 In 1998, a meta-analysis of published antidepressant trials found that 75%
of the effectiveness of anti-depressant medication is due to the placebo effect and other non-specific
effects, rather than the treatment itself.Kirsch, I

Placebo effect - Gastric and duodenal ulcers
1 Moreover, in many of these trials the gap between the active drugs and
the placebo controls was not because [the trials' constituents] had high
drug effectiveness, but because they had low placebo effectiveness.

Placebo effect - List of medical conditions
1 The effect of placebo treatments (an inert pill unless otherwise noted) has
been studied for the following medical conditions. Many of these citations concern research showing that active treatments are effective, but that placebo effects exist as well.

Placebo effect - Placebo-controlled studies
1 The placebo effect makes it more difficult to evaluate new treatments.
The placebo effect in such clinical trials is weaker than in normal
therapy since the subjects are not sure whether the treatment they are
receiving is active.
https://store.theartofservice.com/the-placebo-effect-toolkit.html
Placebo effect - Placebo-controlled studies
1 This is particularly likely, given that new therapies seem to have greater placebo
effects
https://store.theartofservice.com/the-placebo-effect-toolkit.html
Placebo effect - Placebo-controlled studies
1 Clinical trials are often double-blinded so that the researchers also do not know which test subjects are
receiving the active or placebo treatment. The placebo effect in such
clinical trials is weaker than in normal therapy since the subjects
are not sure whether the treatment they are receiving is active.

Placebo effect - Nocebo
1 The recipients of the inert substance may nullify the placebo effect
intended by simply having a negative attitude towards the effectiveness of
the substance prescribed, which often leads to a nocebo effect, which is not caused by the substance, but
due to other factors, such as the patient's mentality towards his or her
ability to get well, or even purely coincidental worsening of symptoms.

manifested in those cases where a real psychotherapeutic effect
appears to have been produced.

1 In 1946, the Yale biostatistician and physiologist E. Morton Jellinek
described the placebo reaction or response. He probably used the
terms placebo response and placebo reaction as interchangeable.Jellinek, E. M. Clinical Tests on Comparative Effectiveness of Analgesic Drugs, Biometrics Bulletin, Vol.2, No.5,
(October 1946), pp. 87–91. Henry K. Beecher's 1955 paper The Powerful
Placebo was the first to use the term placebo effect, which he contrasts
with drug effects.

Henry K. Beecher - Beecher and the Placebo effect
1 His 1955 paper constantly and correctly speaks of placebo reactors and placebo
non-reactors; furthermore, Beecher (1952), Beecher, Keats, Mosteller, and Lasagna
(1953), Beecher (1959), consistently and correctly speak of placebo reactors and
placebo non-reactors; they never speak of any placebo effect; and, finally, in his
Research and the Individual: Human Studies (1970), Beecher simply speaks of placebos.
