Placebos Recommended Routinely By Doctors
The most common definition of the placebo chosen by respondents was that a placebo was "an intervention not expected to have an effect through a known or specific physiologic mechanism". It is often investigated in clinical trial research, but there is little evidence of its effectiveness and use in day to day health care practice. A survey of doctors practising in Chicago, USA, found that forty five per cent of them recommended placebos to patients in clinical practice and believed in the mind-body connection. The researchers wanted to find out how doctors used placebos and what knowledge, attitudes and beliefs about placebos influenced their practice. In most cases the majority of respondents reported they believed there were both psychological and physiological benefits. |
