Classical conditioning without verbal suggestions elicits placebo analgesia and nocebo hyperalgesia. [PDF]
The aim of this study was to examine the relationships among classical conditioning, expectancy, and fear in placebo analgesia and nocebo hyperalgesia. A total of 42 healthy volunteers were randomly assigned to three groups: placebo, nocebo, and control.

Susceptibility to Nocebo Hyperalgesia, Dispositional Optimism, and Trait Anxiety as Predictors of Nocebo Hyperalgesia Reduction. [PDF]
OBJECTIVES: The current paper explores the psychological predictors of nocebo hyperalgesia and whether the reduction of nocebo hyperalgesia can be predicted by susceptibility to nocebo hyperalgesia and psychological characteristics.

An experimental investigation into the mediating role of pain-related fear in boosting nocebo hyperalgesia. [PDF]
Nocebo hyperalgesia refers to increases in perceived pain that putatively result from negative expectations regarding a nocebo stimulus (eg, an inert treatment, compared with no treatment).

Manipulating Placebo Analgesia and Nocebo Hyperalgesia by Changing Brain Excitability [PDF]
Significance Although previous studies have extensively studied the neurobiological mechanisms of placebo and nocebo effects, ways to manipulate these effects to yield further benefits remain relatively unknown. We combined simultaneous repeated transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS)-fMRI, an expectancy manipulation model, and

Direct comparisons of neural activity during placebo analgesia and nocebo hyperalgesia between humans and rats [PDF]
Placebo analgesia and nocebo hyperalgesia can profoundly alter pain perception, offering critical implications for pain management. While animal models are increasingly used to explore the underlying mechanisms of these phenomena, it remains unclear ...

Cholecystokinin input from the anterior cingulate cortex to the lateral periaqueductal gray mediates nocebo pain behavior in mice [PDF]
The nocebo effect, opposite of the better-known placebo effect, in which anticipation of harm worsens pain and other symptoms, is increasingly thought to be responsible for poor clinical outcomes.

Nocebo hyperalgesia induced by social observational learning [PDF]
Nocebo effects can be acquired by verbal suggestion, but it is unknown whether they can be induced through observational learning and whether they are influenced by factors known to influence pain perception, such as pain anxiety or pain catastrophizing.

Interpersonal physiological and psychological synchrony predict the social transmission of nocebo hyperalgesia between individuals [PDF]
Witnessing another’s pain can heighten pain in the observer. However, research has focused on the observer’s intrapersonal experience. Here, a social transmission-chain explored the spread of socially-acquired nocebo hyperalgesia.
