Die Kraft der Erwartung - hamburg.de
Eine Tablette sorgt für spürbare Schmerzlinderung, obwohl sie aus Zucker besteht – das ist der klassische Placebo-Effekt, und der ist keine Einbildung, sondern wissenschaftlich nachweisbar. Sein Mechanismus basiert auf Erwartungen. Und die können sogar dafür sorgen, dass Nebenwirkungen eines Medikaments einen positiven Effekt haben.
