When offered a treatment, ask what a good result looks like, ask what percentage of patients get that result, and ask what percentage of patients end up with troublesome side effects or complications.
Particularly for treatments for chronic conditions, be wary if told that the treatment helps everyone and doesn’t cause any problems. Consider checking it out at a reputable website like the Mayo Clinic, WebMD, or the National Institutes of Health to find out its advantages and disadvantages.
