In the battle against the common cold, the feelings of the patient treatment can become a useful weapon. One study of more than 700 patients found that for cold suffers who have eaten drug, what are the ingredients of the tablets, their cold symptoms are lighter and faster recovery than who have no medication. In the patients who believe the Echinacea’s therapeutic efficacy, the placebo effect is most obvious. The researchers published the results in the Annals of Family Medicine in July/August. The study is funded by the National Institutes of Health. The age from 12 to 80 year-old 719 patients with early cold are divided into four groups. The first group is not taking any medication. Another group taking Echinacea, and were told they are taking herbal medicines. The other two groups taking pills, but do not know the ingredients: tablet containing Echinacea or just a placebo. When designed this study, some studies suggest that Echinacea is effective for the treatment of colds. While, recent studies including the results of the study on cold before the University of Wisconsin think that Echinacea has no effect on the treatment of colds. In accordance with doctor's orders, on the first day, patients taking tablets take medicine four times, each taking two in the next four days, and the medication is four times a day, each taking one. In the study, researchers obtained virus samples from the patient's nasal cavity. Patients need a day to complete two surveys to assess the severity of their condition. The patients were also asked whether they believe that Echinacea can treat a cold. Overall, the researchers found no significant differences between these four groups of patients, patients not taking the pills cold’ duration is slightly longer, the condition is slightly more serious. Cold course of the disease are about 6-7 days in all groups. Among the people do not know taking Echinacea and know taking Echinacea, the results is there is almost no difference; it proves that Echinacea does not have a major impact. However, in the form distributed at the beginning of the study, which was a high degree of identity Echinacea efficacy, and know that the placebo group of patients with common cold have shortest duration in the study. Their course is short two and a half days than the people did not take the tablets. The study also found that 62% of patients not taking the pills with headache symptoms, compared with the other three groups to receive treatment, only less than 50% of patients with headache symptoms. The researchers concluded there may be a placebo effect in the treatment of common cold. Since the online game is so popular now, Tory decided to have a try.
