Role of expectations in health
Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Considerable progress has been made in the neurobiological understanding of expectations in physiological and pathological processes. This article is aimed at presenting an overview of the role of expectations in producing health-related effects. We selected recent laboratory and clinical studies in the field of the placebo effect, with a particular focus on psychiatric disorders. RECENT FINDINGS: Recent scientific research indicates that expectations have the potential for relieving many symptoms. This research relies mostly on the study of placebo and nocebo phenomena which influence physiological and pathological functions. The findings from placebo and nocebo research have important implications for the design and interpretation of clinical trials and for clinical practice. SUMMARY: The studies of expectations in the field of psychiatry and in other fields of medicine suggest that placebo effects are likely to be an important aspect of any treatment. The application of research on health-related expectations has the potential for promoting wellness, improving health, and benefiting patient care.

“Still, the induction of positive expectations regarding an intervention's outcome using verbal suggestions have frequently been shown to affect numerous health outcomes previously (Colloca & Miller, 2011), for example, in (placebo) pain research (Peerdeman et al., 2016; Vase et al., 2002).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
