I wish they had included a third group which received a placebo and was told it was real medicine. The study's not properly complete without one.
I'm not particularly surprised by the results, but I'd be very surprised if the people who knowingly take a placebo do as well as the people who take a placebo believing it's real medicine.
That's pretty much what I meant by "... third group who received a placebo that they didn't know was a placebo".
