Placebos Sometimes Work, A potential solution to the ethical quandary raised by placebo groups is on the horizon

A placebo is a substance or treatment which is designed to have no therapeutic value. Common placebos include inert tablets like sugar pills, inert injections like saline, sham surgery, and other procedures. In general, placebos can affect how patients perceive their condition and encourage the body’s chemical processes for relieving pain and a few other symptoms, but have no impact on the disease itself.
