Today we present 15 new placebo research papers, comments and abstracts identified during September 2017. As usual, they are based on new PUBMED publication using the search terms „placebo“ and „nocebo“ and are hand-selected from more than 704 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 3,500 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.
