An investigation of the nocebo effect—the placebo effect's evil twin.

Can beliefs make you sick? Consider "The June Bug" incident from a US textile factory in the early 1960s. Many employees began to feel dizzy, had an upset stomach, and vomited. Some were even hospitalized. The illness was attributed to a mysterious bug biting workers. However, when the CDC investigated this outbreak, no bugs or any other cause of the illnesses could be identified. Instead, it appears to be an illness caused by the mind — that is, sickness due to expectation.

The June Bug story is one of many striking examples of the nocebo effect, a phenomenon best summarized as the occurrence of a harmful event that stems from expecting it. The nocebo effect plays a role in side effects for some of the most commonly prescribed medications. It provides a lens for understanding how sensationalized media reports that sound alarm about public health might even become a self-fulfilling prophecy. It might even explain the mysterious symptoms associated with Havana Syndrome, during which dozens of US government employees fell ill after reportedly being exposed to an unidentified sound wave in Cuba.

We are just discovering the power behind this effect and how it can be ethically mitigated. Enlightening and startling, The Nocebo Effect is the first book dedicated to investigating this fascinating phenomenon by the foremost experts in the field.

探究诺西博效应——安慰剂效应的邪恶孪生。 信念真的能让一个人生病吗？考虑20世纪60年代初美国一家纺织厂发生的“六月虫”事件。许多员工开始感到头晕、胃疼并呕吐，甚至有的还住进了医院。疾病被归因于一种神秘的昆虫叮咬工人。然而，在CDC调查此次爆发时，没有发现任何昆虫或其他导致疾病的病因。相反，似乎这种疾病是由心理造成的——也就是说由于期望引起的疾病。 “六月虫”事件是诺西博效应众多令人震惊的例子之一，这一现象可以总结为：有害事件发生源于人们对它的预期。诺西博效应在许多最常开处方的药物副作用中发挥作用。它提供了一种理解那些引起公众健康危机的大肆报道甚至会自我实现的方法的视角。或许还能解释霍avan综合征神秘症状的背后原因——在美国政府员工声称暴露于未知声波后，数十名官员生病。 我们才刚刚开始了解这一效应的力量及其如何以伦理的方式加以缓解。《诺西博效应》是专门针对这一 fascinating 现象进行深入调查的研究领域的顶尖专家撰写的首本书。
