Expectancy and Treatment Interactions: A Dissociation between Acupuncture Analgesia and Expectancy Evoked Placebo Analgesia [PDF]
Recent advances in placebo research have demonstrated the mind's power to alter physiology. In this study, we combined an expectancy manipulation model with both verum and sham acupuncture treatments to address: 1) how and to what extent treatment and ...

Development and Validation of the Brief Inventory of Treatment Expectations in Chronic Pain (BITEC)
ABSTRACT Background Expectations shape therapeutic outcomes, yet their systematic assessment remains limited in clinical and research settings. To address this gap, we developed and validated the Brief Instrument for the Assessment of Treatment Expectations in Chronic Pain (BITEC) using Item Response Theory. Methods The study comprised four phases. (I)

A neural mechanism of direct and observational conditioning for placebo and nocebo responses [PDF]
Classical theories suggest placebo analgesia and nocebo hyperalgesia are based on expectation and conditioned experience. Whereas the neural mechanism of how expectation modulates placebo and nocebo effects during pain anticipation have been extensively studied, little is known about how experience may change brain networks to produce placebo and ...
