Keynote by Jeremy Howick: Why Placebo Studies Needs Another Revolution: The Ethical Imperative to Harness Placebo Effects & Rethink Placebo Controls

In this compelling talk, Professor Howick argues that placebo studies require a new revolution. The first revolution brought placebo studies from the fringes, where they were often associated with alternative medicine, into the mainstream.

This shift was driven by research that identified placebo mechanisms and effectiveness, along with the development of increasingly sophisticated placebo controls in clinical trials. Now, with extensive evidence documenting placebo mechanisms and intervention effects, continuing to investigate increasingly esoteric placebo mechanisms has become redundant.

Meanwhile, in clinical trials, contrary to prevailing wisdom, placebo controls should rarely be used since they often harm patients. Instead, active controls are necessary. 

The next placebo revolution therefore requires two key changes:

  • Placebo researchers must shift their focus from investigating esoteric mechanisms to implementing practical applications of placebo research. This includes harnessing placebo effects through healing environments, empathy, and positive communication.
  • The medical community must move to limit placebo controls to exceptional cases only.

Join Professor Howick for an enlightening exploration that challenges conventional wisdom and redefines the possibilities in healthcare.

This talk transcends a mere exploration of medical history; it's a practical guide empowering the audience to grasp the essence of evidence-based medicine.

I just wanted to say a quick thank you to you both for the really enthusiastic session in Oxford.  You were right about the one most useful tip you would be giving us about not checking emails until 12pm.  Taking on this tip alone has enabled me to finish a thesis chapter which had been going slowly up until that point and it's been hugely motivating...!

I believe this is one of the first lectures on ethics that I've actually liked. Not that I behave unethically or that I'm uninterested in medical ethics, but the way everything was presented and integrated into evidence-based medicine made it tangible and interesting.
