Abstract
Octreotide is a new agent with many documented useful applications and a huge number of possible applications. Each documented therapeutic effect will require careful analysis. Particular care must be taken to design controls, use double-blind tests for objective study of subjective benefits, and frame questions to elicit precise answers. The most important guide is to keep an open mind when attempting to discern a mechanism of action.
