non-specific effects Explanation: "The objective of this review is to distinguish specific from non-specific effects, so that the presence of positive effects in the group that received placebo (placebo effect) and the presence of adverse effects in the group receiving placebo (nocebo effect) lead to confounding in interpreting the results." http://www.scielo.br/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S0004... "Problems associated with the assessment of alternative therapies include lack of control groups for placebo effects and nonspecific effects (e.g. passage of time)." http://www.srmhp.org/0201/emotional-freedom-technique.html Zu diesem Placeboeffekt addieren sich vermengte Effekte, z. B. natürlicher Heilungsverlauf, statistische Effekte, Zeiteffekte, methodische Fehler zu der Placeboreaktion genannten Gesamtantwort. A number of unspecific effects, e.g., spontaneous alleviation, statistical effects, variance with time, methodological errors, in addition to the placebo effect make up the total response that is called “placebo reaction.” http://www.readcube.com/articles/10.1007/s00103-012-1526-z |
