Today we present 20 new placebo research papers and a book identified during October 2016. As usual, they are based on new PUBMED publication using the search terms „placebo“ and „nocebo“ and are hand-selected from more than 1003 new publications during the preceding month. Previously published monthly updates can be found in our archive. Todays selection as well as all previously identified papers will also go into our placebo research library that currently contains more than 3,400 relevant papers. If you would like to get access to the full database, please register for our newsletter and provide us with your email address and affiliation.
