This is basically like the many tests done on gluten sensitivity, where the people who claimed to have it and thought they were given bread claimed the usual symptoms, when they weren’t given anything of the sort. (And vice versa when they were given something they thought had no gluten, but did, and had no ill effects afterwards).
Yeah. Though you ethically can’t try to use placebo as a medical treatment, because it’s inconsistent in whether it does anything and is essentially trying to not treat the patient at all with known methods of treatment.

What’s really crazy is that sometimes the placebo can still bring people relief even after knowing that it’s a placebo
If you know that placebo works, and know that it is placebo, then of course!

There could are trials on healthy people.
