Treatment for depression is notorious for placebo effects, and it appears such effects may be due to activation of certain neurotransmitting pathways by the "idea" of active treatment. Research has shown that placebo-induced activation of the Œº-opioid system is implicated in the formation of placebo antidepres…

Given the nature of this trial, which was designed to test whether an immediate surgical risk to prevent future strokes would benefit patients with intracranial arterial occlusion, the use of a Cox proportional hazards model for time-to-event analyses was certain, a priori, to violate the proportional hazard assumption, as the authors realized after the fact.
