Out today! We conducted a multi-level meta-analysis that included ~400 effect sizes, allowing us to make fine-grain distinctions between different nocebo induction methods. In particular, we were meticulous when defining different types and modes of suggestions. Hope you enjoy!! tinyurl.com/mwmeetuz

Die Kraft der Erwartung - hamburg.de
Eine Tablette sorgt für spürbare Schmerzlinderung, obwohl sie aus Zucker besteht – das ist der klassische Placebo-Effekt, und der ist keine Einbildung, sondern wissenschaftlich nachweisbar. Sein Mechanismus basiert auf Erwartungen. Und die können sogar dafür sorgen, dass Nebenwirkungen eines Medikaments einen positiven Effekt haben.

So glad that such important analyses are published in Science. I hope the world understands that this is only showcased for the NIH….
I think this is a fascinating and creative way to think about budget cuts to NIH and what they would mean for all of our health: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
What if NIH had been 40% smaller?
Replaying history with less NIH funding shows widespread impacts on drug-linked research
