Gosh if the fake pain killers are this good, who needs the real thing...interesting study on pain killers and placebos...obviously the study was not for acute pain scenarios and should in no way have any relevance in that area...BD
When it comes to painkillers, many people believe “you get what you pay for,” according to a new study that found patients are actually more likely to get relief if they think they’re taking high-priced pain pills.
Volunteers who were given a placebo said to cost $2.50 per pill and described as a “potent opioid-agonist that provides fast-acting, long lasting relief” were much more likely to report pain relief than those given a placebo described as a discounted ten-cent version of the same pill. The study is published as a research letter in this week's Journal of the American Medical Association.
