Summary

Placebo responses are now recognized for their clinical and physiological significance. Non-pharmacological cues such as sound may enhance or induce these responses. This trial aims to assess the effect of sound on the placebo-induced hypoalgesia elicited by a deactivated TENS device in healthy individuals.
