Estimating the term…
A method for predicting a placebo response in an individual, suffering from or at risk of developing a pain disorder is described. Data is collected from the individual by querying the individual on personality and/or health traits, or performing one or more social learning and/or (bio)physical tests on said individual. The data is used in a mathematical model which attributes a Scoring Factor to the individual. The Scoring Factor is a measure of propensity to raise a placebo response and/or a measure of the intensity of the response for the pain disorder. Tools for implementing the method and preferred uses of the method are described.
A method for predicting a placebo response present in an individual, wherein said individual is suffering from or at risk of developing a pain disorder, said method comprising:
A computer implemented method for predicting the likelihood of a placebo effect present in an individual suffering from a pain disorder, comprising:
A computer implemented product for predicting the likelihood of a placebo response present in an individual suffering from a pain disorder, said computer program product comprising at least one computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program code portions stored therein, the computer-readable program code portions comprising instructions for computing a Scoring Factor for said individual, whereby said Scoring Factor is a measure of propensity to raise a placebo response and/or a measure of the intensity of said response, based on data obtained from personality and health-related queries, and/or social learning and/or (bio)physical test performed by said individual.
A companion diagnostic tool for predicting the likelihood of a placebo effect present in an individual suffering from a pain disorder, wherein said tool comprises instructions for computing a Scoring Factor for said individual, whereby said Scoring Factor is a measure of propensity to raise a placebo response and/or a measure of the intensity of said response, based on data obtained from personality traits and/or health traits and/or social learning tests and/or one or more (bio)physical tests performed by said individual.
