It will allow the researchers to determine whether the group experiences nothing while eating the placebo pill, or if the group experiences effects because of their own expectations. This is also known as the placebo effect.

 

EXPLANATION

Placebo itself is an inactive substance that will give no effects to the participants. Placebo is usually given to the control group of an experiment, while the treatment group will receive the actual drug. Placebo is usually just sterile water, sugar pill, or saline solution that will act as a fake treatment to the control group. The substance in the placebo pill will have no side effects and no medical effects.  

Placebo is important to be given to the participants because the participants might have expected on the treatment. They will try to make a placebo response since they expect that the treatment will work on them. This is called the placebo effect.

The placebo effect refers to the phenomenon where participants experience effects from the placebo pill. This may happen because the participants do not know that they are actually receiving the placebo pill and not the real treatment pill that will give effects. They believe that the placebo pill is actually the real pill. They may think of this because a placebo is usually made very similar to the real treatment, whether if it is a pill, liquid, injection, etc. Even though it is similar to real treatment, it still has no effects on someone’s body.
