Of course, the ongoing C-TNBS symposium wouldn't be complete without @ulrikebingel.bsky.social giving an update on what we are doing in our CRC in the new funding period 🤩 Also featuring talks by Tamas Spisak, Dagmar Timmann & @helenahartmann.com 😁 @neurologieessen.bsky.social @unidue.bsky.social

🌞 New publication from project A02! 🌞 They found that acute aerobic exercise intensity does not modulate pain potentially due to differences in fitness levels and sex effects! But what does that actually mean and what did they do? 🤔⤵️ #NeuroSkyence #PsychSciSky 🧠

Danke an Julian Aé vom Spiegel für das tolle Interview! Wir müssen noch viel mehr über Placebo- und Noceboeffekte bei echten medizinischen Behandlungen sprechen, als die Placebos selbst!

Placebo effects are anything but "just in our heads"! 😱 Did you know that they have real and measurable (!) effects on the brain and body? 🤯 Read the (German) interview with @ulrikebingel.bsky.social in @spiegel.de to find out more! 🤩 🔗 www.spiegel.de/gesundheit/p...

Today is Headache Day! 😣 In Germany, ca. 70% of people suffer from either temporary or persistent headaches 😭 @ulrikebingel.bsky.social on the role of expectations: "In addition to any effective drug therapy, there is also the placebo effect. And this can have astonishing consequences!" 😱

Really enjoyed the opportunity to present at the SFB289 webinar!

A new CRC-associated publication led by @helenahartmann.com gives insights into what it means to use feminist approaches in one's research 🤔💁‍♀️ Guess what - you might already be using some of them without knowing! 😱 Read the paper to find out more ⤵️

Is anybody in my bubble working in a museum or has expertise in creating museum exhibits and would have time to chat to me about something we are planning at the @sfb-trr-289.bsky.social? 😁

The radio channel SWR1 talked to @ulrikebingel.bsky.social about how the brain influences the body and how placebo and nocebo effects work 🧠 Read the interview or listen to it (in German): www.swr.de/swr1/rp/prog...

The CRC is deeply saddened and shocked by the recent and unexpected passing of our esteemed colleague, Professor Andrea Evers. Andrea was a trailblazer in the field of placebo research and a driving force in fostering interdisciplinary collaboration.

Distressing, stigmatising & with no prospect of a real cure: Psoriasis means a major reduction in quality of life for millions of people in Germany. Fortunately, the disease can be treated well in most cases - also thanks to so-called biologics, which attack the causes of the symptoms in the body.

The radio channel @deutschlandfunk.de.web.brid.gy Kultur interviewed Ulrike Bingel about the placebo effect and its benefit for medicine! 👩‍⚕️ Listen to it here (in German): www.deutschlandfunkkultur.de/placebo-effe... Her book "Dein Körper glaubt dir alles" is out now! share.google/jZLZ5cfp8plo...

New video from the patient university of the Medizinische Hochschule Hannover! ✨ Ulrike Bingel & Matthias Karst talk about how chronic pain develops and how a pain therapy works 😫👩‍⚕️ Watch it here in German: www.youtube.com/watch?v=TiTn...

In a new systematic review coming from project A16, we summarized past studies on the personalisation vs. standardization of treatment components in internet-based interventions for the treatment of mental health conditions. Read it: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... Results in next posts ⤵️

Neue Publikation: Dosierungs- und Anwendungspräferenzen für Open-Label-Placebos: Eine Online-Umfrage in der Allgemeinbevölkerung Während offene Placebos (OLPs), d.h. Placebos, die unter vollständiger Offenlegung ihrer inerten Natur verabreicht werden, nachweislich Symptome verbessern,... 1/4

Heute besuche ich selbst mal einen @nawik.de Workshop zum Thema Evaluation von #WissKomm mit @ricardaz.bsky.social & Cecilia Buz‬ 💪 Ich freue mich auf drei Tage Input & Austausch, damit @ulrikebingel.bsky.social, Sven Benson & ich unser @sfb-trr-289.bsky.social Teilprojekt gut evaluieren können! 🤩

✨ New opinion piece ✨ In the paper, editors of mental science journals and custodians of the academic record (including our CRC PI @rief01.bsky.social) commit to a truthful communication of mental science, aimed at patients and to the profession as a whole. ➡️ www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Our CRC's speaker @ulrikebingel.bsky.social is now also on BlueSky - welcome! 🥳 Give her a follow if you like #neurology, #neuroscience, and #painresearch! 🤩

Very thankful for the opportunity to attend the #SIPSplacebo2025 Conference in Kraków, take part in the ECR Summer School, and present my poster looking at how expectations of affective placebo treatment can be enhanced. @sfb-trr-289.bsky.social @sipsplacebo.bsky.social

We thank @przemekbabel.bsky.social, his great team, and @jagiellonskiuni.bsky.social for an inspiring, outstanding and perfectly organized conference in the beautiful city of Krakow! #SIPSplacebo2025 We enjoyed the talks, networking, food and music🥳

Neue Publikation: Nocebo-Effekte sind bei gesunden Personen stärker und anhaltender als Placebo-Effekte. Placebo- und Nocebo-Effekte veranschaulichen den tiefgreifenden Einfluss kognitiv-affektiver Prozesse auf die Symptomwahrnehmung und die Behandlungsergebnisse und können das Ansprechen.. 1/4

Huge congratulations to Frederik Schlitt (A17), Sven Polifka (A15), Christopher Milde (A04/Z02), & our associated CRC member @jlaferton.bsky.social for winning @sipsplacebo.bsky.social poster prizes! ✨ We definitely (re)presented great research at this year's #SIPSplacebo2025 conference! 😁

We can't wait to hear who of our fantastic slammers has won this year's #scienceslam at @sipsplacebo.bsky.social!!! 😱 Not much longer now... #SIPSplacebo2025

This is so cool, @sfb-trr-289.bsky.social! Participation helps us ask better questions, make knowledge accessible, and connect science to real-world political debates. Exactly the collaboration that is missing in many fields of science. We need more of that… @sipsplacebo.bsky.social

SIPS snippet #2: Mirta Fiorio talking at #SIPSplacebo2025 about placebo mechanisms in motor system - important topic in neurology! And: Expectation & placebo/nocebo mechanisms are highly relevant in functional neurol. disorder - glad that @sipsplacebo.bsky.social is picking this up!

SIPS snippet #4: It's so important to study patients directly to understand pain. So far, patient data seem to challenge the bayesian integration principles in pain. But we need a clearer picture - just as the work from Eleonora Camerone is striving to do! #SIPSplacebo2025 @sipsplacebo.bsky.social

Really happy to be able to present my Poster regarding placebo-induced psychedelic effects at #SIPSplacebo2025 Funded by the @sfb-trr-289.bsky.social

We are so excited to welcome three people with lived experiences from our CRC's patient advisory board to @sipsplacebo.bsky.social #SIPSplacebo2025! PAB-members: Dorothea Fell, Sonja Arens and Oliver Vorthmann ✨ Thanks to everyone who stopped by our poster and asked questions ❤️

We are really enjoying Day 2 of @sipsplacebo.bsky.social so far! After fantastic symposium talks by Lene Vase, @luanacolloca.bsky.social and Andrew Geers, we are looking forward to the next flash talks and the poster session ✨ #SIPSplacebo2025

Really happy to have participated again. Always a fun challenge! @sfb-trr-289.bsky.social @sipsplacebo.bsky.social #SIPSplacebo2025

SIPS snippet #3: Excited that we have people with lived experience at this conference @sipsplacebo.bsky.social The patient advisory board from Germany @sfb-trr-289.bsky.social has a poster today (Tues), no 88! Everyone at #SIPSplacebo2025 go check it out

Huge thanks to Lene Vase for highlighting both our recent placebo meta-analysis and the patient advisory board ❤️ The meta-analysis: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... The patient advisory board: treatment-expectation.de/projekte-peo... @sipsplacebo.bsky.social #SIPSplacebo2025

Diving into predictive timing of pain at my poster today. SIPS in beautiful and lively Kraków so far: Welcome Reception = amazing 🔥! Big shout‑out to Bąbel & team! Lots of great talks - and special appreciation for the ECR community! @sfb-trr-289.bsky.social @sipsplacebo.bsky.social

Herzlichen Glückwunsch!!

I am very sad I couldn't be there in person but @liviaasan.bsky.social moderated like a boss and all slams were fantastic!!! Thanks to everybody who jumped in the cold water and dared to slam on stage! ❤️

Today I presented my poster on expectation effects on emotional processing across the lifespan at #SIPS2025 in Krakow. @sipsplacebo.bsky.social @sfb-trr-289.bsky.social

The highlight of this year's @sipsplacebo.bsky.social is of course the science slam, which is moderated by @liviaasan.bsky.social this year and was organised by @helenahartmann.com! Let's hear what each slammer has to tell us! #SIPSplacebo2025

And of course no placebo conference would be complete without @christianbuchel.bsky.social (A02) from @isnlab.bsky.social presenting new work on a Bayesian perspective of how control and agency affect expectation effects in pain ⚡ @sipsplacebo.bsky.social #SIPSplacebo2025

Next up from the CRC is none other than Sigrid Elsenbruch (A04) from @ruhr-uni-bochum.de / @unidue.bsky.social talking about her work on the gut-brain axis and cross-modal nocebo effects 😱 Work together with @aulenkamp.bsky.social, Robert Pawlik & others! @sipsplacebo.bsky.social #SIPSplacebo2025
