A placebo is a substance or treatment that has no active therapeutic effect but is used in medical studies or clinical trials to compare with the actual treatment being tested. The placebo is typically made to look like the real treatment but does not contain any active ingredients intended to affect health.
In clinical trials, a placebo is often used as a control to help determine whether the real treatment or medication has a significant effect, as the placebo effect can cause patients to experience perceived improvements in their condition simply because they believe they are receiving treatment. This effect is psychological in nature, based on the expectation of improvement rather than the active properties of the placebo.

Despite significant advances in understanding the placebo effect, research on its mechanisms is still in early stages. The complex interplay between mind and body, along with historical misconceptions, has slowed progress.

These mechanisms are interlinked, with conditioning and expectancy often overlapping. Other influential factors include :
