AFAICR it is a limited effect but yes it is there. Ah here:
"Reviews that appropriately estimate the placebo effect as the difference in outcomes between placebo and no treatment groups suggest that placebos usually have modest effects. A Cochrane review of placebos 9 considered 234 trials and concluded that, in general, placebos do not produce major health benefits, except for some small and inconsistent effects on self‐reported outcomes such as pain or nausea. " from https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9293195/
As a non-doctor it appears to me that it would work great for pain control but not cure a brain cancer that was causing the headache.
