The influence of treatment expectations on clinical outcomes and cortisol levels in patients with chronic neck pain: an experimental study
ConclusionsPhysical therapists treating people with chronic neck pain should be attentive when communicating the expected treatment effects to their patients. Whereas verbally ‐delivered positive or neutral expectations may be beneficial for pain‐related measures, giving negative expectations may result in a lack of a treatment response on pain. Cortisol levels increased in response to verbally‐delivered neutral and negative expectations, in absence of a nocebo effe ct. This questions the presumed role of cortisol in the nocebo effect.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved. (Source: Pain Practice)

The role of sleep quality and fatigue on the benefits of an interdisciplinary treatment for adults with chronic pain
ConclusionsIn addition to sleep, fatigue emerged as a key potential mechanism of multidisciplinary chronic pain treatment ‐related improvements, suggesting that interventions including elements which effectively target sleep and fatigue may enhance the efficacy of interdisciplinary chronic pain programs. This possibility should be evaluated in future research.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved. (Source: Pain Practice)
