Abstract

The placebo effect is the reduction of a symptom or a change in the psychological parameters when an inert treatment is administered to a subject who is told that it is an active therapy with specific properties. The use of placebo is not equivalent to the absence of treatment, for example, placebo could be used in addition to standard care. In all cases, its use should be associated with measures to minimize exposure and avoid irreversible harm. (Placebo in clinical trials U. Gupta and M. Verma , 2013)
