The closest I have had is knee replacement surgery, at an orthopedics-only hospital (New England Baptist). My surgeon did a great job. I spent about 3 weeks at home mostly flat on my back, with painkillers and lots of ice; and frequent nurse visits to make sure I was still ok. I used a walker to get around at first. After I no longer needed painkillers, I had a couple of months of twice-a-week physical therapy. If the physical therapy tell you to do some odd exercise, just do it. They know what they are talking about.The end result was great! No more knee pain, my knee works fine now! Insurance paid for everything.

My family used to claim some Cherokee ancestry, so I looked into the records, including the Dawes Roll. It turns out that some of my ancestors were scoundrels. They could not fool the government investigators.
There is another explanation for some placebo effects: preparations which are supposed to be inert sometimes actually are not inert. For example, artificial colorings can sometimes have an effect. My father-in-law (a senior chemist for Johnson & Johnson) figured this out.
