Abstract in brief

  • This meta-analysis examined the size of nocebo effects in pain, finding that these effects are generally moderate to large and highly variable across studies.
  • Nocebo effects were measured by comparing inert treatments combined with negative verbal suggestions, with larger effects observed when verbal suggestions were paired with conditioning.
  • The findings highlight the importance of minimizing nocebo effects in clinical settings due to their variable and sometimes substantial impact on patient outcomes.]
