关于安慰剂在治疗药物或干预措施的实验设计和评价中的作用,有丰富的文献。长期以来,人们一直强调对受试者、研究者和评价者进行治疗分配(治疗或安慰剂)设盲的重要性,认为这是成功试验设计的关键特征。然而,安慰剂效应的技术定义和未设盲的治疗分配的影响存在相当大的差异。我们提出了一个正式的概念,一个“感知效应”,并定义解蔽和安慰剂效应的背景下,随机试验。我们采用现代工具,从因果推理,以获得半参数估计的影响。该方法说明了一个激励的例子,从最近的疼痛试验中,治疗相关的副作用的发生作为一个代理揭露。
There is a rich literature on the role of placebos in experimental design and evaluation of therapeutic agents or interventions. The importance of masking participants, investigators and evaluators to treatment assignment (treatment or placebo) has long been stressed as a key feature of a successful trial design. Nevertheless, there is considerable variability in the technical definition of the placebo effect and the impact of treatment assignments being unmasked. We suggest a formal concept of a ‘perception effect’ and define unmasking and placebo effects in the context of randomised trials. We employ modern tools from causal inference to derive semi-parametric estimators of such effects. The methods are illustrated on a motivating example from a recent pain trial where the occurrence of treatment-related side effects acts as a proxy for unmasking.
