pain: placebo effects  

Definición

  • The placebo effect is the reduction or the disappearance of a symptom when an inert treatment (the placebo) is administered to a subject who is told, and indeed believes and expects, that it is an effective therapy. Most of the knowledge about its mechanisms comes from the field of pain, thus placebo analgesia is currently the most investigated model. [Source: Encyclopedia of Perception; Pain: Placebo Effects]
