Preserving the placebo effect after disclosure: A new perspective on non-deceptive placebos
Br J Psychol. 2024 Jan 16. doi: 10.1111/bjop.12696. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe present study explores whether a particular style of placebo disclosure could serve as a tool to foster a renewed trust in one's own inherent resources and elicit a meaningful placebo effect. In a motor performance task, two placebo groups received inert transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) in each of four sessions along with information on its force-enhancing properties. Before the final session, one of the placebo groups was informed about the placebo, which was portrayed as a means to unleash an inherent potential. Along ...

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome: Updates and Current Evidence
AbstractPurpose of ReviewComplex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a debilitating condition that manifests with sensory, neurologic, autonomic, and/or trophic impairment. In addition to manifesting with severe neuropathic pain, CRPS is associated with poor quality of life and higher annual healthcare costs. This systematic review appraises the current body of evidence on all treatment modalities for CRPS.Recent FindingsIn patients with CRPS-related pain, there is level I evidence supporting modest to moderate improvement in pain intensity from physical therapy, occupational therapy, massage therapy, acupuncture, and transcu...

Comparative effectiveness of manual intermittent cervical longitudinal mobilization versus pain modalities in cervical radiculopathy: A double blinded randomized controlled study
CONCLUSION: mICLM and therapeutic modalities showed similar outcomes in managing radiculopathy pain. The study highlights the need for further research to understand the effectiveness of these interventions in larger patient populations.PMID:38160334 | DOI:10.3233/BMR-230154 (Source: Journal of Back and Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation)
