The amplified placebo effect, also known as the enhanced placebo effect, is a phenomenon in psychology and medicine in which a person in a blinded clinical trial suspects that they have received the active drug due to functional unblinding and this results in the person experiencing amplified placebo effects. The unblinding resulting in the effect is caused by subtle psychoactive effects and side effects of the active drug.
