I have come across a very interesting article this week concerning the pharmaceutical companies and the placebo "problem". Although it isn't specifically about tinnitus, it IS about drug trials including those for antidepressants and "mood enhancing" drugs that are sometimes prescribed for people who have distressing tinnitus of course. I have drawn my own conclusions about the information herein, and I have read many other materials that the information in this article supports; it is quite a lengthy piece to read, but I hope you find it informative.
The link is from the Wired UK magazine October 2009 issue and was cited as reading for my MSc. and as such in my personal opinion, gives the article further justifiable credibility. The full URL for the link is: http://www.wired.co.uk/wired-magazine/archive/2009/10/features/the-placebo-problem-big-pharma%27s-desperate-to-solve.aspx
Best wishes to all
