Mechanism of action
Placebo effects arise from psychological and neurobiological processes including expectation, conditioning, and activation of endogenous pain-relief and immune pathways. The 7-day duration suggests a short-term study design to measure placebo response in a controlled setting. Placebo serves as a control comparator in clinical trials rather than as an active pharmaceutical agent.
