Neurobiology of placebo effect in Parkinson's disease: What we have learned and where we are going
@article{Quattrone2018NeurobiologyOP, title={Neurobiology of placebo effect in Parkinson's disease: What we have learned and where we are going}, author={Aldo Quattrone and Gaetano Barbagallo and Antonio Cerasa and A. Jon Stoessl}, journal={Movement Disorders}, year={2018}, volume={33} }
The placebo effect is a phenomenon produced when an inert substance administered like a regular treatment improves the clinical outcome. Parkinson's disease (PD) is one of the main clinical disorders for which the placebo response rates are high. The first evidence of the neurobiological mechanisms underlying the placebo effect in PD stems from 2001, when de la Fuente‐Fernandez and colleagues demonstrated that a placebo injection led to the release of dopamine in the striatal nuclei of PD…

The hypothesis that dopamine-resistant resting tremor may be explained by increased contributions of non-dopaminergic brain regions, such as the cerebellum, is tested and suggests that this region is less susceptible to the inhibitory effects of dopamine.

How Placebos Change the Patient's Brain

Data indicate that different social stimuli, such as words and rituals of the therapeutic act, may change the chemistry and circuitry of the patient's brain, which suggests a cognitive/affective interference with drug action.

The strength of belief of improvement can directly modulate dopamine release in patients with PD and the importance of uncertainty and/or salience over and above a patient's prior treatment response in regulating the placebo effect is demonstrated.

Dopaminergic pathways mediating reward may underlie PL-mediated improvement in Parkinson disease and diseases lacking major “top-down” or cortically based regulation may be less prone to PL-related improvement.

In vivo evidence is provided for substantial release of endogenous dopamine in the striatum of PD patients in response to placebo, indicating that the placebo effect in PD is powerful and is mediated through activation of the damaged nigrostriatal dopamine system.

The formation of biological placebo effects is now being linked to the concept of resiliency mechanisms, partially determined by genetic factors, and uncovered by the cognitive emotional integration of the expectations created by the therapeutic environment and its maintenance through learning mechanisms.

Examining the effect of cost, a traditionally “inactive” trait of intervention, as contributor to the response to therapeutic interventions provides Class III evidence that perception of cost is capable of influencing motor function and brain activation in Parkinson disease.
