A comprehensive review of the placebo effect: recent advances and current thought. (2008, result): “Three studies found large reductions in pain from expectancy manipulations, and two of these studies found corresponding reductions in pain-related brain activity (Keltner et al. 2006, Koyama et al. 2005, Rainville et al. 2005).”
A multisensory investigation of the functional significance of the "pain matrix" (2011, positive): “…of the brain responses elicited by a nociceptive stimulus can be enhanced if subjects anticipate the occurrence of a possibly painful stimulus (Keltner et al., 2006; Koyama et al., 2005), we performed a second experiment in whichwe delivered only auditory stimuli using an oddball paradigm.”
Brain Mechanisms Supporting Modulation of Pain by Mindfulness Meditation (2011, positive): “Meditation and pain both alter sensory, cognitive, and affective dimensions of our subjective experience (Koyama et al., 2005; Cahn and Polich, 2006).”
Imperative content and the painfulness of pain (2011, background): “It is also well-known that expectations and other psychological factors may increase or decrease, even to the point of elimination, the feeling of pain (cf. Koyama et al. 2005 ).”
The placebo effect: From concepts to genes. (2015, positive): “This is consistent with other studies investigating nocebo hyperalgesia that also found increased activity in pain processing regions after negative verbal suggestion (Sawamoto et al., 2000; Koyama et al., 2005; Keltner et al., 2006; Rodriguez-Raecke et al., 2010; Schmid et al., 2013).”
Descending control of nociception: Specificity, recruitment and plasticity. (2009, background): “Depending on the behavioral context, signals related to noxious or potentially noxious input could receive enhanced attention or be subordinated to other bodily needs of higher priority (Bolles and Fanselow, 1980; Koyama et al., 2005; Quevedo and Coghill, 2007).”
