Abstract Synopsis
- Nondeceptive placebos administered remotely online can significantly reduce COVID-related stress, anxiety, and depression based on a randomized controlled trial.
- Participants found the intervention feasible, acceptable, and appropriate, with effects observed after just two weeks.
- Further large-scale research is needed to confirm if this approach is effective across diverse stressful situations and populations.]
