Cutoff criteria for the placebo response: a cluster and machine learning analysis of placebo analgesia.

Scientific reports
Computations of placebo effects are essential in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) for separating the specific effects of treatments from unspecific effects associated with the therapeutic intervention. Thus, the identification of placebo responder...

Identifying multiple sclerosis subtypes using unsupervised machine learning and MRI data.

Nature communications
Multiple sclerosis (MS) can be divided into four phenotypes based on clinical evolution. The pathophysiological boundaries of these phenotypes are unclear, limiting treatment stratification. Machine learning can identify groups with similar features ...

Multivariate resting-state functional connectivity predicts responses to real and sham acupuncture treatment in chronic low back pain.

NeuroImage. Clinical
Despite the high prevalence and socioeconomic impact of chronic low back pain (cLBP), treatments for cLBP are often unsatisfactory, and effectiveness varies widely across patients. Recent neuroimaging studies have demonstrated abnormal resting-state ...

An oral norovirus vaccine generates mucosal immunity and reduces viral shedding in a phase 2 placebo-controlled challenge study.

Science translational medicine
There are currently no licensed vaccines for norovirus, a leading cause of epidemic and endemic gastroenteritis worldwide. Clinical advancement of promising vaccine candidates from phase 2 studies to phase 3 field trials has been hampered by the lack...

Comparison of Different Machine Learning Methodologies for Predicting the Non-Specific Treatment Response in Placebo Controlled Major Depressive Disorder Clinical Trials.

Clinical and translational science
Placebo effect represents a serious confounder for the assessment of treatment effect to the extent that it has become increasingly difficult to develop antidepressant medications appropriate for outperforming placebo. Treatment effect in randomized,...

[Prediction of color simulation prescription for traditional Chinese medicine placebo solution based on whale algorithm-optimized back propagation neural network].

Zhongguo Zhong yao za zhi = Zhongguo zhongyao zazhi = China journal of Chinese materia medica
Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) placebos are simulated preparations for specific objects and the color simulation in the development of TCM placebos is both crucial and challenging. Traditionally, the prescription screening and pattern exploration ...

The anti-ageing effects of a natural peptide discovered by artificial intelligence.

International journal of cosmetic science
OBJECTIVE: As skin ages, impaired extracellular matrix (ECM) protein synthesis and increased action of degradative enzymes manifest as atrophy, wrinkling and laxity. There is mounting evidence for the functional role of exogenous peptides across many...
