I think placebo groups improve mostly for disappointing reasons: Regression to the mean, research fraud, and biased answers on the symptom survey. The main benefit of placebo-ideology is that a well-defined intervention is much harder to cheat on than an observational study.

But you can also ascertain the placebo effect when studies run a placebo *and* a no-treatment arm, and the placebo effect does still exist (albeit in a smaller slice of conditions)
