A phenomenon opposite to the placebo effect has also been observed. When an inactive substance or treatment is administered to a recipient who has an expectation of it having a negative impact, this intervention is known as a nocebo. A nocebo effect occurs when the recipient of an inert substance reports a negative effect or a worsening of symptoms, with the outcome resulting not from the substance itself, but from negative expectations about the treatment.

Think of the nocebo effect as the opposite of the placebo effect. Instead of good thoughts or associations producing a positive outcome, bad thoughts and associations produce bad results. For example, in the early 1990s, a study showed that women who believed they were prone to heart disease were four times more likely to die than women who didn’t believe they were susceptible, even though both groups of women had similar risk factors
In a now-famous experiment from 1886, a woman who claimed to suffer allergies from roses was shown an artificial rose. Upon seeing the rose, she developed congestion, shortness of breath and other symptoms of an allergic reaction. When the woman was told the rose was fake, the symptoms went away, and days later, she no longer experienced an allergic reaction among real rose

Ear stapling calls specifically upon auricular acupuncture, or acupuncture that focuses entirely on the ear as a microcosm of the entire human body, for its supposed efficacy. Believers in-ear stapling claim that by continuously stimulating the Zero Point location, which is said by some to include the Stomach point presented above, they can curb appetite, reduce stress and increase metabolism, among other benefits.

Former doctor and Air Force flight surgeon Harriet Hall believes the term ‘placebo effect’ is unfortunate. As she notes, the term comes from Latin meaning, ‘I please,’ which she posits opposing ‘I benefit.’
Environment matters. A 1984 study on the effects of hospital window views found that patients staring out into nature had shorter postoperative stays, complained less, and took fewer and more moderate doses of drugs than patients whose windows faced a brick wall. - Dyson Centre for Neonatal Care in England
If we’re going in for a treatment with the idea that we’re going to be fixed, chances are our attitude will help the healing process along. This is a truer estimation of the placebo effect than something ‘fake’ tricking us. Showing just how much perception matters, Hall notes the following:
- Placebo surgery works better than placebo injections
- Placebo injections work better than placebo pills
- Sham acupuncture treatment works better than a placebo pill
- Capsules work better than tablets
- Big pills work better than small
- The more doses a day, the better
- The more expensive, the better
- The color of the pill makes a difference
- Telling the patient, “This will relieve your pain” works better than saying “This might help.”
