Hyperalgesia, Chronic Pain Syndrome
Pain-related Fear as a Facilitator of Nocebo Hyperalgesia
Nocebo hyperalgesia is characterized by adverse pain outcomes, induced by patients' expectations. In the lab, nocebo effects are commonly studied via classical conditioning, a method that employs pairings of neutral…
