| A recent review of 100 MS clinical trials over the past 20 years found a prominent nocebo effect. |
| The placebo and nocebo effects are widely chronicled in psychology texts and studies. |
| In the case of the nocebo, it is negative expectations that become self-fulfilling prophecies. |
| This may be the underlying mechanism of placebo and nocebo effects of medications and other therapies. |
| Many people, including health professionals, are less familiar with the nocebo response. |
| One patient who fell prey to the nocebo effect had become aware of the symptoms that can arise when a person stops taking Prozac. |
