[QUOTE="Dark Horse, post: 1264029, member: 52527"] Research has found that prescribed drugs also have a placebo effect which is [B]in addition [/B]to the physiological effects of the drug itself. Injections tend to have a stronger placebo effect than pills, and the colour of the pills affects how strong the placebo effect is. Some medics have wanted to harness the placebo effect without exposing their patients to drug side-effects but didn't want to deceive their patients. It was thought that if patients knew they were being given a placebo, it wouldn't work. However, there was a study which suggested that placebos still worked even if the patients knew they were getting a placebo:- [URL]http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0015591[/URL] There was a study which investigated the use of placebos by GPs:- [URL]http://www.nhs.uk/news/2013/03March/Pages/97-percent-of-GPs-admit-prescribing-placebos.aspx[/URL] There's a few fun facts about placebos here:- [URL]http://qi.com/infocloud/placebos[/URL] [/QUOTE]
