krayzemusic Salvaged from Archive	Posted: 21 Feb 2007, 00:00 · [Salvaged from Archive] What does pain feel like? I have CIPA (Congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis) JK. They should have tested both pills on the same subjects to see if they noticed a difference...there is still the chance that everyone in group a were masochists and everyone in group B were pussies. So to rule that possibility out, they should have given them both pills instead of one and then told them they were both placebos afterwards.

Yeah I'm not even sure how they can consider that to be scientific. I didn't even watch the entire video since it was just a bunch of footage of people whining about how the little shock hurt them. They should have used a white-hot fire poker on their arms! lets see how much they think that pill works then.

Curmudgeon Salvaged from Archive	Posted: 21 Feb 2007, 00:00 · [Salvaged from Archive] This isn't a study in pain; it's a study in the subject-expectancy effect, which has been understood for decades and why the concept of control groups and double-blind methodology has been around for decades.
BobZilla Salvaged from Archive	Posted: 21 Feb 2007, 00:00 · [Salvaged from Archive] I do belive that things hurt if you let them and don't if you don't want them to. And about the testing, you have to realize that as far as science is concerned, humans are all the same mostly. Can you tell the difference between a smart and dumb dog?
brownbearclan Salvaged from Archive	Posted: 21 Feb 2007, 00:00 · [Salvaged from Archive] It's pretty hard to do a full on clinical type trial, but I think this does show the power of the mind when a placebo is used. I've personally seen people given things that weren't really anything yet they felt relief because they expected to. There was no doubt in their mind it would make them fell better, so it did! Reminds me of an old "M.A.S.H." episode where they ran out of pain meds and gave everyone placebos and it worked lol.

Salvaged from Archive	Posted: 21 Feb 2007, 00:00 · [Salvaged from Archive] i remember a long time ago (circa 70's maybe) a guy was suffering from pnuemognia, they gave him placebo pills every day and told him that they were actually going to cure it. and what do you know the guy was fine after 3 days........its all mind tricks really, if you can make yourself deadset on thinking something will happen like an illness fading, its been scientifically proven that it actually extremely dramatically helps
