This is part 4 of my ongoing research in "enhancing the Placebo Effect - and decreasing the Nocebo Effect". This is my study guide and I hope you find it useful too. You can find parts 1, 2 and 3 on this blog also.

Here are the search strings I used, so far:
(harness OR elucidate OR enhance OR increase OR intensify OR heighten OR magnify OR amplify OR strengthen OR build-up OR supplement OR augment OR boost OR improve OR enrich) placebo
(decrease OR lessen OR reduce OR minimize OR moderate) (doctor OR nurse OR physician OR practitioner OR clinic OR hospital) nocebo
((harness OR elucidate OR enhance OR increase OR intensify OR heighten OR magnify OR amplify OR strengthen OR build-up OR supplement OR augment OR boost OR improve OR enrich)-placebo) ((decrease OR lessen OR reduce OR minimize OR moderate)-nocebo (doctor OR nurse OR physician OR practitioner OR clinic OR hospital))
placebo nocebo
((decrease OR lessen OR reduce OR minimize OR moderate) (doctor OR nurse OR physician OR practitioner OR clinic OR hospital)-placebo) OR (placebo-(run-in OR lead-in)) OR (placebo-responder))
("placebo effect" OR "placebo response" OR nocebo) (patents OR patentable OR patent)

"People who are given medication for an ailment frequently feel
better because they think they should, even though the product has no
therapeutic value. This is known as the placebo effect. In order to eliminate the bias of the placebo effect in a clinical study, it is common practice to "blind" the participants, i. e.,
dispense to the control group a placebo which simulates in taste,
smell, and appearance the product being tested. Similarly, to neutralize
any subconscious bias of the examiner, it is important to blind him, i. e.,
prevent him from knowing which subjects received the medication and
which did not. A study in which both the subjects and the examiner are
blinded is referred to as "double-blind." See JA 914-916." - Lecture 3
