Next up at #RCPsychIC is session S40 on ‘The placebo effect: insights for translational research and clinical practice’.

This will be chaired by Professor Samuele Cortese (@CorteseSamuele).
The first speaker in this session is Dr Nathan Huneke (@NathanHuneke) who will be talking about ‘Current knowledge of the placebo effect in anxiety disorders and future directions’ Image
Nathan begins by highlighting 50 years of drug trials for anxiety disorders.

Very few have been successful because we don’t understand the neurobiology and there has been poor validity of pre-clinical trials.

But placebo response is also a factor.
