Assessing healthcare needs in endometriosis
OBJECTIVE: Women with endometriosis still have to seek the legitimacy of their disease from the medical community and often feel unheard. This scoping review aims to map the scientific literature to describe barriers and facilitators in the endometriosis management from both patients' and healthcare professionals' (HCPs') perspectives. METHODS AND MEASURES: We searched the literature published between 2012 and 2023 in the Web of Science, PsychInf…
Unethical informed consent caused by overlooking poorly measured nocebo effects
Unlike its friendly cousin the placebo effect, the nocebo effect (the effect of expecting a negative outcome) has been almost ignored. Epistemic and ethical confusions related to its existence have gone all but unnoticed. Contrary to what is often asserted, adverse events following from taking placebo interventions are not necessarily nocebo effects; they could have arisen due to natural history. Meanwhile, ethical informed consent (in clinical t…
Establishing a causal link between social relationships and health using the Bradford Hill Guidelines
An abundance of evidence suggests that the size and quality of our social relationships improves humans' physical and mental health while increasing lifespan. However most of this evidence comes from observational rather than experimental (randomised trial) evidence, leaving open the possibility that the connection between social relationships and health could be associational rather than causal. However there are examples, including the link bet…
The relativity of ‘placebos’
Research gaps in the philosophy of evidence-based medicine
Increasing philosophical attention is being directed to the rapidly growing discipline of evidence-based medicine (EBM). Philosophical discussions of EBM, however, remain narrowly focused on randomization, mechanisms, and the sociology of EBM. Other aspects of EBM have been all but ignored, including (a) the nature of clinical reasoning and the question of whether it can be standardized; (b) the application of EBM principles to the logic, value, …
Evidence based medicine
Trisha Greenhalgh and colleagues argue that, although evidence based medicine has had many benefits, it has also had some negative unintended consequences. They offer a preliminary agenda for the movement’s renaissance, refocusing on providing useable evidence that can be combined with context and professional expertise so that individual patients get optimal treatment
The Philosophy of Evidence‐Based Medicine
Exposing the Vanities—and a Qualified Defense—of Mechanistic Reasoning in Health Care Decision Making
Philosophers of science have insisted that evidence of underlying mechanisms is required to support claims about the effects of medical interventions. Yet evidence about mechanisms does not feature on dominant evidence-based medicine “hierarchies.” After arguing that only inferences from mechanisms (“mechanistic reasoning”)—not mechanisms themselves—count as evidence, I argue for a middle ground. Mechanistic reasoning is not required to establish…
Evidence‐based policy
This article critically analyses the concept of evidence in evidence‐based policy, arguing that there is a key problem: there is no existing practicable theory of evidence, one which is philosophically‐grounded and yet applicable for evidence‐based policy. The article critically considers both philosophical accounts of evidence and practical treatments of evidence in evidence‐based policy. It argues that both fail in different ways to provide a t…
