German Researchers Prove that Placebo Effect is for Real

Boston (DbTechNo) - Results of a new study suggest that patients taking placebos for pain without knowing it may actually benefit from them.

This would actually prove that in many cases, it is the power of the mind that controls whether or not a person feels pain or not.

The “placebo” effect” refers to somebody responding to an inactive drug that is not supposed to effect their condition, but in many clinical studies, this is not the case.

This interesting study was conducted by researchers from the Germany’s University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf.

After gaging participants’ pain threshhold by applying heat to their arms, researchers then treated them with what they told them was either a curing cream, or a “control cream.”
