Detailed explanation-1: -The placebo effect is when a person’s physical or mental health appears to improve after taking a placebo or ‘dummy’ treatment. Placebo is Latin for ‘I will please’ and refers to a treatment that appears real, but is designed to have no therapeutic benefit.
Detailed explanation-2: -To complicate matters, there is a documented “placebo effect, ‘’ which means that some people actually respond to a placebo even though it shouldn’t have an effect on the body. This has been thought to be largely due to their beliefs or expectations that they are getting the real treatment and not the fake one.
Detailed explanation-3: -The major advantage of using a placebo when evaluating a new drug is that it weakens or eliminates the effect that expectations can have on the outcome. If researchers expect a certain result, they may unknowingly give clues to participants about how they should behave. This can affect the results of the study.
