Nocebo Expectations Impact Pain Relief by a.carmo1981 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
A randomized clinical trial involving 65 cancer survivors with chronic musculoskeletal pain found that nocebo expectations significantly reduced pain relief and increased adverse events (AEs) compared to placebo expectations. High nocebo expectations decreased pain severity improvements by 2.5 points and increased unwanted AEs by 22.4%. The study highlights the need for further investigation into how nocebo expectations can negatively impact treatment outcomes in pain management.
