Objectives

Narrative objectives1

Depending on how the drug is explained to the patient, the ease of manifestation of the nocebo effect can change and affect the occurrence of side effects. In this study, study subjects will be divided into two groups: one group will receive an explanation of the effects of caffeine (increased heart rate, palpitations, gastric discomfort, etc.) and the other group will not receive an explanation of caffeine and will drink coffee. The effects of providing explanations will be clarified and the nocebo effect will be examined.

Basic objectives2

Others

Basic objectives -Others

To measure changes in cerebral blood flow in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex of the brain with respect to the perception of the nocebo effect. Furthermore, we will elucidate the inter-individual variability factors of the nocebo effect and examine the differences in the onset of the nocebo effect and the mechanism of its onset.

Assessment

Primary outcomes

To compare the subjective indicators of caffeine (subjective symptom questionnaire and state anxiety) in the different manifestations of the nocebo effect.
To compare palpitations and gastric discomfort (VAS) and STAI (state anxiety) as subjective measures before and after coffee consumption in the explained and unexplained groups.

Key secondary outcomes

To measure changes in cerebral blood flow in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex of the brain with respect to the perception of the nocebo effect. Furthermore, we will elucidate the inter-individual variability factors of the nocebo effect and examine the differences in the onset of the nocebo effect and the mechanism of its onset.
The COMT gene polymorphism, 5-HTT gene polymorphism, CCK gene polymorphism differences and personality will be examined as interindividual variability factors for the nocebo effect.
