The placebo effect: amazing and real
November 2, 2015
Robert H. Shmerling
The placebo effect is a mysterious thing. I’ve long been
fascinated by the idea that something as inert and harmless
as a sugar pill could relieve a person’s pain or hasten their
recovery just by the expectation that it would. Studies use
placebos – an inactive treatment, such as a sugar pill – in
an attempt to understand the true impact of the active drug.
Comparing what happens to a group of patients taking the
active drug with the results of those taking a placebo can help
researchers understand just how good the active drug is.
The word “placebo” comes from Latin and means “I shall
please.” And “please” it does. In study after study, many
patients who take a placebo show improvement in their
symptoms or condition.
The placebo effect is for real
Recent research on the placebo effect only confirms how
powerful it can be – and that the benefits of a placebo treatment
aren’t just “all in your head.” Measureable physiological
changes can be observed in those taking a placebo, similar to
those observed among people taking effective medications.
In particular, blood pressure, heart rate, and blood test results
have been shown to improve among subsets of research
subjects who responded to a placebo.
Of course, not everyone has a therapeutic response to a
placebo. If that were the case, we wouldn’t need medications
at all. Instead, we could simply wield the power of suggestion.
Understanding why certain people improve with placebo
treatment and others do not is the “holy grail” of placebo research.
Nocebo: Placebo’s evil twin
The power of suggestion is a double-edged sword. If
you expect a treatment to help you, it’s more likely to do so.
And if you expect a treatment will be harmful, you are more
likely to experience negative effects. That phenomenon is
called the “nocebo effect” (from the Latin “I shall harm”). For
example, if you tell a person that a headache is a common
side effect of a particular medication, that person is more
likely to report headaches even if they are actually taking a
placebo. The power of expectation is formidable and probably
plays a significant role in the benefits and the side effects of
commonly prescribed medications.

can be exemplified by actually feeling the side effects of
medication or placebo.

Read the text below and answer the following
question based on it.
Global sleeping patterns revealed by app data.
It showed the Dutch have nearly an hour more in bed every
night than people in Singapore or Japan.
The study, published in Science Advances, also found
women routinely get more sleep than men, with middle-aged
men getting the least of all.
The researchers say the findings could be used to deal with
the "global sleep crisis".
The study found people in Japan and Singapore had an
average of seven hours and 24 minutes sleep while the
people in the Netherlands had eight hours and 12 minutes.
People in the UK averaged just under eight hours - a
smidgen less than the French.
The later a country stays up into the night, the less sleep it
gets. But what time a country wakes up seems to have little
effect on sleep duration.
Prof Daniel Forger, one of the researchers, said there was a
conflict between our desire to stay up late and our bodies
urging us to get up in the morning.
The study also showed women had about 30 minutes more
per night in bed than men, particularly between the ages of
30 and 60.
And that people who spend the most time in natural sunlight
tended to go to bed earlier.
A strong effect of age on sleep was also detected. A wide
range of sleep and wake-up times was found in young
people but "that really narrows in old age," said Prof Forger.
"It highlights that although our body clocks are programming
us to do certain things, we can't as we're ruled by social
circumstances.
"We won't know the long-term consequences of this for
many years."

Read the text below and answer the following
question based on it.
Global sleeping patterns revealed by app data.
It showed the Dutch have nearly an hour more in bed every
night than people in Singapore or Japan.
The study, published in Science Advances, also found
women routinely get more sleep than men, with middle-aged
men getting the least of all.
The researchers say the findings could be used to deal with
the "global sleep crisis".
The study found people in Japan and Singapore had an
average of seven hours and 24 minutes sleep while the
people in the Netherlands had eight hours and 12 minutes.
People in the UK averaged just under eight hours - a
smidgen less than the French.
The later a country stays up into the night, the less sleep it
gets. But what time a country wakes up seems to have little
effect on sleep duration.
Prof Daniel Forger, one of the researchers, said there was a
conflict between our desire to stay up late and our bodies
urging us to get up in the morning.
The study also showed women had about 30 minutes more
per night in bed than men, particularly between the ages of
30 and 60.
And that people who spend the most time in natural sunlight
tended to go to bed earlier.
A strong effect of age on sleep was also detected. A wide
range of sleep and wake-up times was found in young
people but "that really narrows in old age," said Prof Forger.
"It highlights that although our body clocks are programming
us to do certain things, we can't as we're ruled by social
circumstances.
"We won't know the long-term consequences of this for
many years."
