中医凭经验给出的药用在自限性疾病病人身上是不是起到了安慰剂的作用？

中医凭经验给出的药物在自限性疾病患者身上，确实有可能发挥安慰剂效应。自限性疾病是指那些即使不治疗，疾病也会随着时间自行痊愈的情况。在这种情况下，中药或其他治疗方法可能并不直接影响疾病的病程，但由于患者相信治疗有效，心理因素可能会促进病情的好转。这就是安慰剂效应的作用，它可以通过患者的积极期望和信念来改善症状或加快康复。

Medicines prescribed by traditional Chinese medicine based on experience might indeed have a placebo effect on patients with self-limiting diseases. Self-limiting diseases refer to conditions that will heal on their own over time without treatment. In such cases, Chinese medicine or other treatments may not directly affect the course of the disease, but because the patient believes in the efficacy of the treatment, psychological factors may contribute to the improvement of the condition. This is the effect of the placebo, which can alleviate symptoms or accelerate recovery through the patient’s positive expectations and beliefs.
