Placebo and naloxone can alter post-surgical pain by separate mechanisms
- Medicine, BiologyNature
- 1983
Evidence is reported that placebo analgesia can occur after blockade of opioid mechanisms by naloxone and that n aloxone can produce hyperalgesia independent of the placebo effect.

The results point to the possibility that associative learning, and conditional responding to pain cues, is not dependent on endogenous opioids, as well as demonstrating comparable learning of pain responses in participants treated with naltrexone or inert pill.

Present and previous results in this model with bilateral oral surgery suggest that short term corticosteroid administration deserves attention as an efficient means which may be of value in reducing pain and excessive inflammation in surgery and traumatology.
The true size of placebo analgesia: Concordant neural and behavioural measures of placebo analgesia during experimental acute pain

A robust estimate of the neural and behavioural measures of placebo analgesia is provided by contrasting the effect of pain relief expectation from an inert cream (vaseline) against a real topical analgesic agent (lidocaine) applied on two different limbs and their respective control conditions.

Results suggest that individual differences in pain sensitivity may relate to differences in an endorphin system, and naloxone administered to man should alter pain appreciation.

It is demonstrated here that following the extraction of impacted wisdom teeth, naloxone causes a significantly greater increase in reported pain intensity than placebo, an observation consistent with the suggested participation of endorphins in an intrinsic pain suppression system.

It is interesting that Pepper could say as recently as 10 years ago "apparently there has never been a paper published discussing the important subject of the placebo," but in 1953 Gaddum1 said: Such tablets are sometimes called placebos, but it is better to call them dummies.

There is ample evidence that placebo can cause most, if not all, of the effects due to any active drug (Beecher, 1962; Honigfeld, 1964). A detailed case history of apparent dependence on a placebo…

Both hormones possess common and identical regulatory mechanisms and there may be a functional role for circulating beta-endorphin in response to acute stress or long-term adrenalectomy.
