Placebos are NOT all in your mind. They’re not about expectation, or positive thinking, and you don’t have to believe you’re taking a real drug to feel better. In this clip from episode 8 of Where the Wild Thoughts Are, Jo Marchant chats to placebo researcher and self-confessed ‘deviant’ Ted Kaptchuk about why he thinks placebos really work.
Over the past couple of decades, Ted’s research has shocked the medical establishment and turned upside down conventional thinking about placebos. His trials break all the normal rules, and give us a glimpse of how we might approach medicine differently, particularly for the very conditions that our drugs are usually worst at treating – such as chronic pain.
