Placebo Amplification Data
Description
A dataset containing the data from Claus et al. (2020). In a routine inpatient setting for unipolar depressive disorders they implemented an intervention that sought to amplify the placebo response of antidepressants. In the study, two groups were compared: treatment as usual (TAU) and placebo amplification (PA). Participants were examined four times during their treatment.
