EBook For Placebo Effects Through the Lens of Translational Research 1st Edition By Luana Colloca, Jason Noel, Patricia Franklin, Chamindi Senevi

Placebo Effects Through the Lens of Translational Research is a book that looks at how placebos (things like sugar pills that don’t have medicine in them but can still help people feel better) work in healthcare. It brings together new ideas and research to help doctors find better ways to treat people and manage their symptoms. The book includes work from a diverse group of experts, including women, people of color, and scholars from around the world. It helps connect research about placebos with how they are used in real healthcare to improve people’s health.

The book explains how placebos can sometimes have effects that are just as strong as the real treatments tested in drug trials. This has made it harder to develop new medicines, because the effects of the medicine and the placebo can look very similar. The book talks about how combining medicines with other treatments might be the key to improving healthcare in the future.
