    "The drucebo effect is the difference in the intensity or frequency of a drug's symptoms when it's used in a blinded versus open-label setting. The term is a combination of the words "drug" and "placebo" or "nocebo". It's used to describe how expectations can lead to beneficial or adverse effects of a drug, rather than the drug's pharmacological action.
    The drucebo effect can be used to evaluate a drug's safety and efficacy. For example, in the case of statin therapy, the drucebo effect can help explain why some patients experience adverse effects, such as muscle pain, even though statins are generally safe and effective. The drucebo effect can also help explain why some patients overestimate the extent of adverse effects, such as by misattributing unrelated symptoms"
