Patients in the 18 mg/day group had a reduction in off time of 1.72 hours/day, and those in the 27 mg/day group had a 2.44 hours/day reduction. However, a strong and sustained placebo response resulted in no statistically significant difference between placebo and treated patients. >> It seems to me that I've read of strong placebo effects in other Parkinso ns-related studies. If this is true, does it lend weight to the idea that there are things we ourselves can do—mind-body connections we can cultivate—that will have real and measurable positive effects? I would like to think so.
