Placebo effect: fake medication sometimes really works against tinnitus

Fake medication can sometimes really help with tinnitus, according to a report by Welingelichte Kringen. This is called the placebo effect.

According to the source, the brain sometimes responds to the expectation that a medication works, even if it is a fake medication. This can lead to an improvement in symptoms.

The effect is individual. For some it works, for others it does not. It remains unclear how strong this effect is and whether it works for everyone.
