What's the most impressive placebo effect recorded in a study? Is it always limited to mild pain relief?

For stories like this, people always predictably discuss how ethical it is for doctors to knowingly prescribe placebos for stories and how different interventions have different impacts.

If placebo alone can't cure anything and only gives mild pain relief, I'm surprised nobody mentions it's overhyped.
