  • Gender Differences in Placebo Analgesia

    Per M Aslaksen, Martin Bystad et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2011

    OBJECTIVES: To examine whether there are gender differences in event-related potential (ERP) responses to painful stimulation after administration of placebo medication; and to investigate whether placebo medication reduces anticipatory stress and if this reduction can explain the placebo analgesic response. Several experimental and clinical studies have shown that males report lower pain compared with females. There are, however, few reports of …

  • The Roles of Physiological and Subjective Stress in the Effectiveness of a Placebo on Experimentally Induced Pain

    Per M Aslaksen, Magne Arve FlatenARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2008

    OBJECTIVE: To examine whether reduction of negative emotions and associated autonomic activity could explain placebo analgesia, and to test the effect of experimenter gender on the placebo analgesic response. METHODS: Sixty-three (n = 32 females) students participated in a within-subjects design where subjects were tested on two separate days, one day for the experimental condition (placebo) and one day for the natural history condition. In the e…

  • Placebo and Nocebo Responses, Cortisol, and Circulating Beta-Endorphin

    Oddmund Johansen, Jan Brox et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2003

    OBJECTIVE: The experiment tested whether the placebo and nocebo responses could be mediated via modulation of stress. METHODS: Ischemic pain was induced in healthy volunteers (N = 59). When pain reached "7" on a 10-point scale, two groups of subjects received information that a pain relieving (the Placebo group) or a pain increasing (the Nocebo group) substance was injected. All injections contained physiological saline. A third group received no…

  • Drug-Related Information Generates Placebo and Nocebo Responses That Modify the Drug Response

    Magne Arve Flaten, Terje Simonsen et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine1999

    OBJECTIVE: Administration of the muscle relaxant carisoprodol and placebo was crossed with information that was agonistic or antagonistic to the effect of carisoprodol. It was investigated whether information alone induced physiological and psychological responses, and whether information modified the response to the drug. METHODS: Half of the subjects received capsules containing 525 mg carisoprodol together with information that the drug acted …
