Özet

Objective The therapeutic response of a patient cannot purely be explained by the method of therapy or the efficacy of a drug. Clinician-patient interaction, psychosocial factors, patients' expectations, hopes, beliefs and fears are all related to the healing outcome. Malleability and suggestibility are also important in the placebo or nocebo effect. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether adding brief verbal suggestions for pain relief could change the magnitude of an analgesic's efficacy.
