Theories of the nocebo effect Sample Clauses

Theories of the nocebo effect. Due to the problems nocebo effects can cause in terms of the side effects attributed to medication and symptoms from suspected environmental exposures, there is an obvious need to understand the mechanisms for how they occur. Although several theories exist, our knowledge about the mechanisms underlying nocebo effects still falls behind the understanding we have of the placebo effect. Deliberately inducing negative symptoms in research participants using techniques that often involve deception is often poorly received by ethical review boards, reducing the amount of work that has been done. While early research focused on psychological accounts of the phenomenon, more recent work has begun to explore possible immunological, endocrine and genetic mechanisms.
