Abstract

Placebo effects are common in the treatment of pain. This paper summarizes present knowledge on the placebo response, its frequency, its problems, the suspected mechanisms of placebo effects and ethical and legal aspects of the intentional application of placebos. Clinical situations are described in which the use of placebos may be considered and conditions for its critical application are proposed.
