Weird question. Do you know what would happen if you gave two groups a painkiller, told one group that it should help and told the other that it shouldn't work (or that it was a placebo)? I'm curious if the drug would still work as well if the patient was told it isn't supposed to.

I'd google it, but I have no idea what keywords to use lol.
