Learner's definition of PLACEBO
[count] medical
: a pill or substance that is given to a patient like a drug but that has no physical effect on the patient安慰剂
◊ Patients who have been given a placebo that they think is a real drug may feel better because they believe that they are getting actual medicine. The improvement that they experience in their health is called the placebo effect. Placebos are also used in tests to compare the effect of a real drug with a substance that does not have any physical effect.病人把安慰剂当作药物服用之后可能产生良好的反应，这是因为他们以为自己服用了真正的药物。这种健康状况的改善称为“安慰剂效应”。安慰剂也用于测试，以比照实际药物的效应。

plural placebos
Did you know?
Doctors doing research on new treatments for disease often give one group a placebo while a second group takes the new medication. Since those in the placebo group usually believe they're getting the real thing, their own hopeful attitude may bring about improvement in their condition. Thus, for the real drug to be considered effective, it must produce even better results than the placebo. Placebos have another use as well. A doctor who suspects that a patient's physical symptoms are psychologically produced may prescribe a placebo in the hope that mentally produced symptoms can also be mentally cured.
