placebo effect
Placebo in Russian is "плацебо" (pronounced "plakseebo"). It refers to a substance or treatment with no therapeutic effect, given to a patient to simulate the psychological effects of a real medicine.
the pill that represented the placebo
In medical research, scientists need to know if a new medication is effective; so, during testing, they give one group the actual medication and one group a placebo (a sugar pill, that looks like medicine). Neither group is told which one they are getting. In the end, the hope is that the group that received the medicine will feel much better than the group that just got the placebo. Sometimes, though, there is not much difference, at which point the researchers know the medication probably is not effective enough.
Birth control pills are equally effective when used perfectly. Pills with shorter or absent placebo intervals have less possibility of error, since perfect pill users are rare.
