Answer:

placebo effect

Step-by-step explanation:

  • A placebo effect is likely to occur. The placebo effect is defined as the occurrence of an inert substance or some benefit after administration of sham therapy.
  • Placebo is a non-medical substance such as clean water, saline solution or sugar tablet and In this case, a positive outcome from a treatment is not from a single treatment, rather than from an expectation.
