PASSAGE
From an essay by Dr. Laila Singh, 2021.
In several small trials, patients who knew they were taking placebos nonetheless reported real relief from chronic symptoms. No one was fooled; the pills were labeled placebo, and participants were told as much. The improvements invite an uncomfortable question: what, besides pharmacology, helps people heal? Researchers propose explanations ranging from expectation and ritual to the simple regularity of taking a pill. None of this suggests we should replace effective treatments with sugar, but it does suggest that the form care takes matters. If open-label placebos can help some conditions without deception, we should find out why, for whom, and how to use them responsibly.
