Is it all placebo? - Episode 104

In this episode Shaun and Bo dive into the topic of the placebo effect in clinical practice. What is the role of patient and practitioner bias in a consultation potentially leading to a perceived cause-and-effect relationship? We discuss why the placebo effect gets a bad reputation and importantly understand how what we say and do, can influence our patient’s expectation and their experience.  This will challenge some thoughts and beliefs about therapeutic effects in clinical practice. Enjoy!
