Mechanism of action

Placebos work through multiple psychological and neurobiological pathways including expectation, conditioning, and activation of endogenous pain-relief systems. In a sublingual applicator format, the placebo is designed to be absorbed or dissolved under the tongue, potentially enhancing the ritualistic and sensory components of the placebo response. The therapeutic effect is not due to pharmacological activity of the formulation itself, but rather the patient's belief and the clinical context in which it is administered.
