Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term used to describe a cure resulting from a medicine or procedure that has no therapeutic benefit is the placebo effect. This effect occurs when a patient's expectations or beliefs about a treatment lead to perceived improvements in their symptoms or overall health. The placebo effect is known to be particularly strong in cases where patients are given a pill or other treatment that they believe to be a medication, even if the substance they are given has no active ingredients.
