Плацебо-эффект как проблема взаимодействия субъективных и объективных факторов в лечении

Abstract

Usually in science, the placebo effect is equivalent to the absence of treatment, to the influence of subjective factors. It is an essential part of testing the effectiveness of «real» drugs and techniques. The article highlights an alternative scientific view of placebo as a subjective factor, but which causes objective changes. In this sense, a placebo effect is a fundamental element of any treatment.
