Symposium 'Clinical Implications of Placebo Effects'
From improved patient-doctor
communication to reduced health care
costs
We all know the phenomenon of placebo's:
placebo's can, for example, be
pills, that contain no active substance, but
do have a positive effect on the treatment. This
is also called the placebo effect.
Are you interested in the placebo effect, how this
effect can be used, and what positive effects this
can actually have when used in treatments? These
and other questions will be discussed at the
'Clinical implications of placebo
effects'-symposium. Experts in placebo
research will talk about recent research
findings.
