Placebo effect not only psychological

The placebo effect was not only associated with the intellect alone, but to reach the spine.

Placebo is the medical term for a drug treatment and Systems "false". People who are on the perspective of the medical treatment of dependent and can not accept to feel more pain when told that the disease may in fact be cured without medication or with sufficient rest.

Such patients typically receive health gradually as syringes, medication or surgery, although injections or medications, which really does not contain everything which is medically. For example, the material containing intravenous fluids only salt, sugar pills webs, or even surgery without cutting internal organs.

Through various events and donated placebo experiments was 35-75 per cent recovery in patients with various types of diseases.
The cure is expected not only caused by a placebo drug, but other things also.

A number of researchers from Germany, said the new evidence that the placebo effect can also help tackle-mejangkau spine and the efforts at better ways of pain and other disorders.

Is through the use of modern imaging technology, the researchers found that a simple faith to block the treatment of pain very effective pain signals in the spine as a "posterior", which provides a strong biological mechanism as a "medicine" that works available .

"It is deep in the early parts of the central nervous system is rooted, and have a strong impact," said the researchers, the study, Falk Eippert the University Hospital Hamburg-Eppendorf conducted.

Eippert and a number of colleagues observed using functional imaging, or fMRI, to changes in the activity of the spine. They provide heat to the painful arm 15 healthy men and compared the response of the spine has when they think of an anesthetic cream or a placebo-treated patients.

In fact, the cream was not active, but fMRI scans show neural activity significantly decreased men who feel confident about receiving anesthesia.

Ability to produce counterfeit drugs with no active components to significant clinical benefits that have long frustrated physicians and confusion among the drug manufacturers.

The patients are an experimental drug or clinical samples that normally exist in the experiment and found that patients receiving the placebo also improved, so that it is difficult to determine whether the new drug works.

Strong placebo effect in the treatment of nervous system, such as depression or pain. In general, the experts see as an effect of psychological effects, but new research in Germany, the latest evidence that there was an important physical component.

But what signals on back pain when a placebo was rejected, it remains unclear, although some may Eippert suspected chemicals, including opioids, noradrenaline and serotonin naturally be associated with it.

In the journal "Science", wrote Eippert and his colleagues that this research set out to assess the effectiveness and possible locations for new therapies for various forms of pain including chronic pain opens.
