Shaping placebo analgesic responses on the Internet: a randomized experimental trial.
Authors
Abstract
The field of Internet-based treatments is expanding. However, little is known about placebo effects in online therapeutic settings. The aim of this study was to test if placebo analgesia could be induced via online communication. Exploratory analyses tested if different communication styles (empathetic/neutral) would influence the placebo effect.
