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.
