Placebo
1. What were the patients hoping for when participating in the trial?
2. The patients were split into 2 groups. What treatment did they receive?
3. How did the treatment affect both groups? (hint: did it work?)
4. Were the treatments real?
5. What kind of problems with the body can placebo’s help with?
