Core Tip	Osteoarthritis is a major cause of pain and reduced quality of life in the elderly population, as well as an economic burden. Unfortunately, there is no currently effective treatment, and most of them show small to moderate effect sizes, according to main meta-analyses. On the other hand, literature has demonstrated that placebo has a considerable effect size in osteoarthritis clinical trials. So why not use it to our advantage?
