Aches and pains getting you down, or maybe they really tick you off. If that's the case, maybe don't look to a placebo1 to give you any relief. Because a new study shows that sugar pills are less effective for people who are quick to anger. The work appears in the journal Neuropsycho Pharmacology.
For centuries physicians have known that some patients improve when given fake medicine, like pills that contain no real drugs. But how can docs predict which of their cases are most likely to benefit from the placebo effect?
To find out, researchers ran 50 volunteers through a battery of personality test. Then they injected a bit of salt water into the subjects' muscles, and told them they'd be getting a little something to relieve the resulting pain, although that little something was actually a
sham2.
The researchers found that pretend meds don't do much for people who tend toward
hostility3. They work best for folks who are naturally resilient and
altruistic4. The subjects who responded to the
foul5 treatment actually produced more of the body's own natural
painkillers6. That's good news for the
stoic7 and one more thing for the angry to be mad about.
