Default Review: Strong Placebo response in Parkinson's disease

The response lasts. Most placebo effect seen in people with severe symptoms or surgery. In 16% of people on placebo, they felt 55% reduction in symptoms. Wish we could all harness this improvement somehow.

Placebo response in Parkinson's disease: Comparisons among 11 trials covering medical and surgical interventions.

Placebo responses were temporally distributed similarly during early, mid, and late phases of follow-up. Placebo-related improvements occur in most PD clinical trials and are similarly distributed across all 6 months of follow-up.
