Placebo Effect

Have you ever heard of the term "Placebo Effect"? Well, if you don't know what that term means don't worry I'm going to tell you the definition in this blog post. Imagine participating in a clinical trial, a clinical trial is when people participate in an event to test out a new medicine or drug. When you were participating in the clinical trial the actual medicine and the placebo were being handed out to the people but you and the doctors don't know which one you get. A placebo is basically a substance or a look-a-like of the medicine but the placebo doesn't have any medication in it. If you do receive the placebo and you feel better, that is a case of the placebo effect. When the placebo group and the medicine group feel better in a way you know that both groups were healed in a physiological and not in a medical way.
