Maybe the Placebo effect, all medications have affect the patient (even if it does nothing) so you can not prove a medicament does not work without a control group using Placebo to make the claim falsifiable.
I don't think the placebo effect has something directly to do with falsifiablty. As experiment that compares treatment A against the Gold standard treatment B makes a falsifiable claim in the absense of placebo control.
