Deceptive and Nondeceptive Placebos to Reduce Pain: An Experimental Study in Healthy Individuals.
Abstract
Recent research has shown that placebos can be effective even if they are openly prescribed to participants. Yet, it is unclear how such "open-label placebos" (OLPs) compare to deceptive placebo (DP) and what the mechanisms of actions are. In this study, we therefore compared 2 versions of OLP to DP and no treatment (NT).
