Mechanism of action

Placebo is an inert substance used as a control in clinical trials to establish baseline efficacy and safety of an investigational drug. Any observed effects are attributed to the placebo effect (psychological and contextual factors) rather than a specific molecular mechanism. Placebos are essential for blinded study designs to isolate the true therapeutic benefit of the active drug being tested.
