Nocebo Effect on Pain-Related Autonomic Responses in a State of Experimentally-Induced Sensitization. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background Enhanced pain‐related autonomic responses were reported after experimentally‐induced secondary mechanical hyperalgesia (SMH) in healthy individuals as well as in a variety of chronic pain cohorts. Stimulus‐induced autonomic responses can also be modulated by positive and negative expectations towards the applied stimulus. This study

How the number of learning trials affects placebo and nocebo responses [PDF]
Conditioning procedures are used in many placebo studies because evidence suggests that conditioning-related placebo responses are usually more robust than those induced by verbal suggestions alone. However, it has not been shown whether there is a causal relation between the number of conditioning trials and the resistance to extinction of placebo and

New Insights into the Placebo and Nocebo Responses [PDF]
In modern medicine, the placebo response or placebo effect has often been regarded as a nuisance in basic research and particularly in clinical research. The latest scientific evidence has demonstrated, however, that the placebo effect and the nocebo effect, the negative effects of placebo, stem from highly active processes in the brain that are ...
