So what .. if it is a placebo effect.. if the patient's quality of life improves.. it improves.

Most of these "new & improved" drugs often demonstrates some better therapy over the original... seldom more than a 5% improvement. But those studies are typically in a fairly small group.. and the typical clinical study group tends to be someone "sterile" of other disease states than the one that the drug is suppose to treat.

Once the drug gets out in the "real world" the improvement may be better/worse that the original and what the study would suggest.

Until we are all clones of each others and not individuals.. we will not have nor need medications that treat all of us equally.
