Multifactorial Aspect Of The Placebo Analgesia Response In Peripheral Neuropathic Patients

August 7, 2016

The placebo response exerts a confusing influence when testing the statistically significant superiority of active compounds compared to placebo in analgesia randomized clinical trials (RCTs). Furthermore, the magnitude of this effect has tended to increase over time with the year of trial completion, including in neuropathic pain trials.

Do Environmental Parameters Influence The Prediction Of The Placebo Response?

August 7, 2016

This proof-of-concept study on peripheral neuropathic pain patients investigates the potential influence
of the investigator on the placebo response in RCTs while manipulating different variables, including
patient expectation, conditioning and prior experiences, observational and social learning.
