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.
It is not completely excluded. For cases where the ‘standard’ treatment did not work or does not exist, placebo treatment can be used under the condition, that the patient is informed that they will be given placebo.
What’s really crazy is that sometimes the placebo can still bring people relief even after knowing that it’s a placebo
