Participatory medicine will owe part of its success to the technologies that have the potential to remove treatment, symptom management, administrative, and communications burdens from individuals and clinicians while maintaining the critical interpersonal interactions between them. Out of the steady stream of new devices, programs, gadgets, and applications, which will make a difference in the health and lives of patients? We hope to build the Journal as a resource for critical reviews of technologies that support and facilitate participatory medicine. We realize it will be no small undertaking to put together a process that will allow for the review of a substantial number of technologies over time, reflecting the experience of different types of users.

Placebos Are Getting More Effective. Drugmakers Are Desperate to Know Why. - 0 views

response to placebo was considered a psychological trait related to neurosis and gullibility rather than a physiological phenomenon that could be scrutinized in the lab and manipulated for therapeutic benefit. But then Benedetti came across a study, done years earlier, that suggested the placebo effect had a neurological foundation. US scientists had found that a drug called naloxone blocks the pain-relieving power of placebo treatments. The brain produces its own analgesic compounds called opioids, released under conditions of stress, and naloxone blocks the action of these natural painkillers and their synthetic analogs.

Placebo-activated opioids, for example, not only relieve pain; they also modulate heart rate and respiration. The neurotransmitter dopamine, when released by placebo treatment, helps improve motor function in Parkinson's patients. Mechanisms like these can elevate mood, sharpen cognitive ability, alleviate digestive disorders, relieve insomnia, and limit the secretion of stress-related hormones like insulin and cortisol.

Alzheimer's patients with impaired cognitive function get less pain relief from analgesic drugs than normal volunteers do. Using advanced methods of EEG analysis, he discovered that the connections between the patients' prefrontal lobes and their opioid systems had been damaged. Healthy volunteers feel the benefit of medication plus a placebo boost. Patients who are unable to formulate ideas about the future because of cortical deficits, however, feel only the effect of the drug itself. The experiment suggests that because Alzheimer's patients don't get the benefits of anticipating the treatment, they require higher doses of painkillers to experience normal levels of relief.
