Abstract

Have you ever been to the doctor and felt better a few days later even though you have not taken the prescriptions regularly This is the placebo effect in action. The trip to the doctor is thought of as a placebo here. Definition and origin Placebo is a Latin name which means I shall please. A placebo is a medically ineffective treatment for a disease or other medical condition intended to deceive the recipient into thinking of it as a real medication. Patients given a placebo treatment will have a perceived or actual improvement in a medical condition, a phenomenon commonly called the placebo effect or placebo response. Placebo therefore can be thought of as a dummy treatment. origin has no scientific back up to it. Studies done later show no clinically important effects, this led to placebos being infamous
