| This may be the underlying mechanism of placebo and nocebo effects of medications and other therapies. |
| One patient who fell prey to the nocebo effect had become aware of the symptoms that can arise when a person stops taking Prozac. |
| In an article recently published in the journal Deutsche Ärzteblatt International, we and our colleague Ernil Hansen reviewed 31 studies, conducted by us and other researchers, that demonstrated the nocebo effect. |
| Benedetti's work on blocking cholecystokinin could pave the way for techniques that remove nocebo outcomes from medical procedures, as well as hinting at more general treatments for both pain and anxiety. |
| The placebo and nocebo effects are widely chronicled in psychology texts and studies. |
| The answer to these four questions will determine whether subjectively described symptoms of illness can be ascribed to a collective nocebo effect or whether those responsible are required to face consequences. |
