Yes. Although the placebos are safe due to the neutral filling, they can play a major role in your recovery. This can be positive, but the nocebo effect cannot be ruled out either. In addition, the placebos are not always effective, the effect will be less or absent in people with a certain personality profile. Placebos cannot therefore be used as a substitute for medical treatment. It is therefore always important to discuss the addition of placebos in your treatment program with your treating physician.

Placebos can be effective for anyone. The effect depends, among other things, on the context in which the placebos are taken. However, scientific research does show that placebos are more effective in some groups. Often placebos are effective in groups that have a similar personality profile. Characteristics of this group are that they trust others more quickly, are open to new experiences and have a positive mindset. If you want to know if you belong to this group, please complete the free Contextual Healing test.

There are several ways you could try this. At Pain-Changer we work on your thoughts, expectations, emotions and all kinds of other factors that influence you. In our coaching we work on a personal intake ritual that maximizes the placebo effect.

It is a common misconception that the placebo effect can only occur when people are misled about the treatment they are receiving. While this is sometimes the case, there are also many situations where placebos can be effective without deception. One way placebos can be effective without deception is by using open-label placebo treatments. In these cases, the patient is told they are receiving a placebo, but is also explained to them that the placebo effect may occur and that it may help improve their symptoms. By providing this openness, patients can still benefit from the placebo effect, even if they know they are receiving a placebo. That the effect still occurs can be explained in several ways: The explanation and the realization that honest placebos are effective can still change their expectations. They may become more hopeful or positive about the treatment and this, in turn, may lead to a change in the way their body responds. This can, for example, lead to a reduction in pain or an improvement in other symptoms. Another explanation comes from the way the brain works. The brain is known to produce several substances involved in pain relief and other symptoms. For example, when someone is in pain, the brain can produce natural painkillers, such as endorphins. A placebo treatment has been shown to stimulate the production of these substances, which can lead to a reduction in symptoms. Finally, open-label placebos can also be effective through other factors, such as the attention and care of the practitioner, or even through the rituals and symbolism often associated with medical treatments.

The capsules contain no active ingredients, only Microcrystalline Cellulose. This is a natural and neutral fabric. This excludes negative side effects due to harmful substances.

The capsules contain no active ingredients, only microcrystalline cellulose, which is a neutral substance that is only used for filling. This excludes negative side effects due to harmful substances. However, the Nocebo effect could occur. The nocebo effect is the opposite of the placebo effect and refers to the negative effect that can occur in a patient when he or she is exposed to a treatment that is considered harmful , even if this treatment does not cause actual damage. The nocebo effect can lead to side effects, symptoms and worsening of health condition If this is the case, please contact our specialists. There are several ways to minimize this effect.

We recommend taking two capsules every day with a glass of water. Research shows that two capsules are more effective than one. In addition, the intake ritual is an important factor for the strength of the effect. To design a personal and effective ritual, you can use the free placebo coaching. Here we work on your expectations, thoughts, emotions and behaviors surrounding the ritual. These all have influence so can all be optimized.

Definitely possible. We enjoy working with colleagues from the field. Contact us and we will discuss the possibilities together.

Pain-Changer is an initiative of Cerebrum Pharmaceuticals. Cerebrum Pharmaceuticals' mission is to maximize the Contextual Healing effect in all medical interventions. With special attention to those where medical (medicinal) interventions are ineffective or limited by systematic negative side effects.

We are always open to new collaborations. So please contact us and see if we can help each other.

Pain-Changer was created to help chronic pain patients. We do this on the basis of the Contextual Healing approach in which the potential of the brain is central. Through the brain we work on pain management and making your pain medication more effective, with the ultimate goal that you need less medication. For the time being, we do this on the basis of two interventions, namely the boot camp and the app.

Research shows that some people benefit more from a Contextual Healing intervention than others. This difference was also reflected in the blood values: one produces more endorphins (natural painkillers) than the other. As you can imagine, it is quite difficult to find out online if you belong to these people. This is because we cannot measure the amount of natural painkillers in your blood via an online test.However, a study by Zubieta (2013) offers a solution. This scientist discovered that the people who enjoyed an extra strong Contextual Healing effect had similar personality traits. And these can be mapped out via an online questionnaire. ​ On the basis of your personality, we can therefore predict whether your personality is suitable for Contextual Healing and whether the Pain-Changer method will work for you. However, this test is only an indication, if you do not have the right personality but are still motivated to apply Contextual Healing, you are always welcome to try it. In any case, it can't hurt.

There are several types of pain relievers available, and they can be divided into several categories based on their mechanism of action and chemical composition. Here are some of the most common categories of pain relievers: 1. Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs): These drugs reduce pain, inflammation, and fever. Examples of NSAIDs are ibuprofen, aspirin, naproxen and diclofenac. 2. Acetaminophen (acetaminophen): Acetaminophen is commonly used to relieve mild to moderate pain and reduce fever. It also has a limited anti-inflammatory effect. 3. Opioids: These pain medications are commonly used for moderate to severe pain. They work by binding to opioid receptors in the brain and reducing pain perception. Examples of opioids are morphine, codeine, oxycodone, and fentanyl. Opioids are very potent pain relievers and should be used with caution due to the risk of addiction and side effects. 4. Local anesthetics: These pain relievers are usually used to relieve pain in a specific area. They are usually applied to the skin or tissues in the form of creams, gels, or injections. Examples are lidocaine and prilocaine. Contextual Healing can be applied to any painkiller, from any category, because it focuses on the context surrounding intake. We're working on producing natural painkillers that are made in the brain. This makes Pain-Changer an effective and safe addition to all pain medication. Regardless of the strength and frequency of use of the medication.

The term Contextual Healing originated from a dissatisfaction with how society views the placebo effect. Ask people what placebos are and you will hear descriptions like "fake", "deception", "imaginary", and so on. The placebo effect is something we don't want. For example, in the pharmaceutical industry, a drug must outperform a placebo in order to be marketed. But this conceptualization as "fake" and "undesirable" ignores the fact that the placebo effect actually exists and that there is much to be gained from maximizing this effect. Miller and Kaptchuck (2008) dedicate an entire article to arguments why Contextual Healing would be a better term than the placebo effect. First, to avoid the negative associations. But a more important argument is that the placebo effect also exists within real medical interventions. This is demonstrated with e.g. the open hidden experiment. In concrete terms, this means that if pain medication reduces pain levels by 40%, and a placebo by 30%, the drug's pharmacological share is only 10%. In other words: the placebo effect is also present without a placebo being involved. The term is therefore not comprehensive enough. Hence the term Contextual Healing: it is the total experience surrounding a (medical) intervention that contributes to the healing experience.

The Contextual Healing product are super placebos that you can use in addition to your pain medication. The placebos are designed according to scientific insights for an optimal extra effect. They do not contain any harmful substances and are therefore safe to use.

Contextual Healing taps into the natural healing processes of our body. This means that we do not confront our body with unnatural and harmful substances. So there is no danger here. The nocebo effect is something we take into account. This is the "ugly" brother of the placebo effect; where positive expectations can lead to positive outcomes, this can also be the case the other way around. By actively working on harmful thoughts, emotions and behaviors we minimize the nocebo effect. This is something many of our members have never worked on. Rarely do we see an increase in the nocebo effect. In fact, just being aware of the nocebo effect, i.e. knowing that it exists, already takes away a large part of the effect. So you already have this in your pocket.

Miller and Kaptchuck, the coiners of the term Contextual Healing, describe it as follows: “Contextual Healing is that aspect of healing that is produced, activated or enhanced by the context of the clinical encounter (which can also be a drug), as distinct from the specific efficacy of treatment interventions…” In your own words, you can never see a medical intervention separately from the context in which it is offered. In addition to the ingredients of, for example, a medicine, the way in which it is administered is also important. Think of the setting in which it is taken, the confidence in the doctor, the way of communicating, thoughts, emotions, and all kinds of associations that are linked to the moment of intake. All factors surrounding the medicine, and contributing to healing, belong to the domain of Contextual Healing.

The Contextual Healing effect is always present, present with every intervention. This makes it difficult to make clear statements about the strength of the effect. However, the focus is clearly on reducing subjective complaints. In other words: we do not focus on treating a tumour, for example. It is often the disorders with a psychological component where the greatest gains can be made. According to the literature, the effect of Contextual Healing is strongest in chronic pain. Pain is an experience in which, predominantly, both the body and the brain come into action. The fact that the pain signals are processed in the brain opens the door for Contextual Healing. In some studies a Contextual Healing effect has been found that is as strong as the strongest medicine. In another study, the Contextual Healing component is described as giving an extra shot of morphine on top of the current pain medication.

A model that tries to capture the Contextual Healing process is the biopsychosocial model. The article by Zion and Crum (2018) states that social and contextual triggers (such as a white doctor's coat, an operating room, your favorite doctor) can influence psychological processes. For example, all kinds of contextual triggers can give someone the feeling that they are in good hands. His confidence in healing increases. There is hope again. Positive emotions take over and push negative psychological influences into the background. This change of psyche can already have a positive effect on the pain experience. However, there is one last step. These psychological changes also affect biological processes. For example, a positive expectation activates the production of endorphins in the brain. These natural painkillers, which act like morphine, stop the pain signal and thus relieve the pain. For a better understanding of Contextual Healing and the biopsychosocial model, please refer to the article by Zion and Crum (2018)

As explained earlier, Contextual Healing is another, and possibly better, name of the placebo effect. We therefore base ourselves on studies that prove the placebo effect. It is not necessary to single out a single study. There is clear scientific consensus that the placebo effect exists. It is real. A few interesting findings underline the major role played by the placebo effect, and thus Contextual Healing: The open hidden experiment shows that there is also a placebo effect in medicines. A (large) part of the effect of a drug therefore comes from the placebo effect ( Benedetti, et al., 2003) In 2013, only 9% of the drugs outperformed a placebo. This was 25% in 1990. Without statistical tricks this difference would have been even smaller (Tuttle et al., 2015) 9% of doctors/general practitioners indicate that they secretly prescribe placebo. 96% of doctors/general practitioners prescribe medicines that they know do not work (soft placebo). In short, there is broad scientific consensus that the placebo effect exists. It is even in the effect of medicines. In addition, the effect seems to be getting stronger. Pharmaceutical companies are finding it increasingly difficult to "beat" placebos in order to bring their drug to market. That the practice also believes in placebos, and therefore Contextual Healing, is evident from the (secret) use of (soft) placebos. They seem to have no other option.

For the time being, we are making an inventory of the needs of our participants for the next trajectory. You can pass on your wishes on the "registration" page. If there are enough registrations, we will send a proposal (location and time) to those who have registered by e-mail. If you are still interested, you can definitely register. The learning community closes at 20 participants. If you are not included, you will be given priority on the next route. After the final placement, an individual online intake will take place in which the supervisor will briefly get acquainted and discuss the next steps.

We are working on this, but unfortunately the learning community is not yet reimbursed by health insurers. This is because it is a new approach to pain and pain medication.

Pain-Changer helps patients with chronic pain. It has proven its worth in various circumstances. Including Back Pain, Headache, Migraine, Neck Pain, Fibromyalgia, Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI), Shoulder Pain, Joint Pain and Sciatica. Can't find your pain in this list? Or is your pain undiagnosed? Pain-Changer can help anyone with pain that lasts at least 3 months.

During the program, which lasts 8 weeks, we go through a number of topics. The knowledge builds on previous lessons. This makes it important to follow the entire program. We start with a focus on pain and its relationship with the brain. We learn how to reduce the pain by working on all the pain triggers in the brain. This approach is fundamentally different from what most of our members are used to. This phase can therefore already bring a lot of relief. Although permanent changes to the brain do take time and effort. Next, we focus on current pain medication. We learn how medication relieves pain and where there are still opportunities to increase the effectiveness of our medication. So we're going to get started with this. Finally, we introduce the Contextual Healing product. With the right knowledge and instructions, the super placebos are an additional effect on top of the current medication. We will also work here to minimize the nocebo effect. We are not (yet) explicitly going to reduce the pain medication. This is a sensitive step that we would like to develop further in a subsequent programme. If you still want to do this on your own initiative, consult your treating doctor for the possibilities. Feel free to contact your treating physician to discuss the possibilities.

The bootcamp builds on the previous sessions. This may mean that you will have trouble understanding the material if you miss one or more sessions. If this is the case, there are several options for updating. For example, we have a workbook where the essential information is explained, we work with a buddy system and there will be time during the sessions to ensure that everyone is fully up to date.

We choose a workshop on location variant for several reasons that all contribute to a stronger Contextual Healing effect. First of all, the relationship between care provider and patient is essential for an optimal effect. That is why we opt for long-term (12 weeks) and real contact. In addition, social support plays a major role in pain management, we create this by forming a close learning community with the group where we support each other in the process. And this is necessary, because changing the brain takes time and effort. Finally, social constructivism is central to the way of learning. In other words, learning together and really applying the material instead of just listening (and often forgetting). Such a way of learning is best done on location.

We see that many pain approaches focus on the body, which also makes sense since this is where the pain is felt. However, there is also a large group where the pain persists while the body is said to be "recovered". This is often the group where the pain becomes chronic and where interventions that focus on the body no longer help. For this group, our Contextual Healing approach, with a focus on the brain, is interesting. Because contrary to what many think, the body needs the brain to produce pain. People with spinal cord injury are, unfortunately, living proof of this. They do not feel pain in the body because the pain signals never reach the brain. However, it is also possible the other way around. People who suffer from phantom pain feel pain in a limb that is no longer present. The brain therefore produces pain without receiving pain signals from the body. These examples show that the brain plays a crucial role in (chronic) pain. But with the arrival of the brain, the situation also becomes much more complex. For example, our thoughts, emotions, associations, experiences and personality traits also come into play. And these all have their own influence on the pain experience. But with this focus on the brain, we do take back control. With time and effort we can change our brain. There are many effective techniques for this that we will practice in our boot camp. In conclusion, we do not say that the pain is between your ears. People who say this often don't understand the complexity of the situation. However, the key to a life with less pain is often found in our brain. Let's go find this one.

You can expect an effect when you reprogram your brain. Through years of pain, fear, and ingrained thoughts, the current pain paths are deep and therefore steadfast. It will take time and effort to create and walk other positive paths. The more you get started with the exercises, the faster the effect will take place.

Contextual Healing taps into the natural healing processes of our body. This means that we do not confront our body with unnatural and harmful substances. So there is no danger here. The nocebo effect is something we take into account. This is the "ugly" brother of the placebo effect; where positive expectations can lead to positive outcomes, this can also be the case the other way around. By actively working on harmful thoughts, emotions and behaviors we minimize the nocebo effect. This is something many of our members have never worked on. Rarely do we see an increase in the nocebo effect. In fact, just being aware of the nocebo effect, i.e. knowing that it exists, already takes away a large part of the effect. So you already have this in your pocket.

The effect of medication can be increased in two ways. The first way is the most well-known way, namely changing the ingredients, or the dosage, of the drug so that the impact is greater. This is the responsibility of the pharmaceutical industry. Another way to increase the effectiveness of medicines is to focus on the Contextual Healing part. The open-hidden experiment shows that the same drug is more effective when given by a trusted doctor than by a machine. This shows that there is a second component that determines the effectiveness of medicines. Within our program we focus on making the Contextual Healing part stronger. We would like to show you exactly how we do that in the boot camp.

No. Not yet. On the basis of the boot camp, you will become familiar with the right knowledge and exercises to lower your pain scores, so that you will probably have less need for additional pain medication. Upgrading your pain medication and adding the Contextual Healing product can also make you want to reduce the dose. However, structurally reducing the dosage is a challenge that we are still working on. We are currently developing an additional program for this, but unfortunately it is not yet finished. Until then, we ask that you contact your treating physician if you are considering lowering the dose of your pain medication. Do not do this on your own as this can be dangerous. Of course, your doctor may contact us to discuss the options.

Participation in the learning community costs 500 euros including VAT. What you will receive for this can be found under the heading "sign up".

Within a learning community you work according to the frameworks of social constructivism. In concrete terms, this means that we learn from and with each other under the watchful eye of a supervisor. So the sessions will be less send-receive than most are used to. In an interactive way, the facilitator ensures that the material is discussed and practiced so that we can really apply it in practice. Because in the end it's about you being able to improve your life, also outside the classroom. In addition to the fact that this way of learning is more effective, we have also made the choice for a learning community because of the positive influences of social support. Science shows that people who feel supported are completely supported by peers. , report lower pain scores and have a higher quality of life. There is therefore sufficient space for this during the sessions.

According to the literature, the effect of Contextual Healing is strongest in chronic pain. Pain is an experience in which, predominantly, both the body and the brain come into action. The fact that the pain signals are processed in the brain opens the door for Contextual Healing. Some studies have found a Contextual Healing effect that is as strong as the strongest drug used for that condition. In another study, the Contextual Healing component is described as giving an extra shot of morphine on top of the current pain medication. This indicates that it can be a very strong effect.

Pain-Changer is suitable for anyone living with chronic pain and taking pain medication. You don't have to believe in Contextual Healing for it to work. However, the strength of the Contextual Healing effect may vary from person to person. Take the free Contextual Healing Test to see if Pain-Changer can help you. In addition, social constructivism is central to the learning community. This means that you have to be somewhat open to learn from and with each other. This is an important condition for a positive effect on you and your peers.

We're working on producing natural painkillers that are made in the brain. This makes Pain-Changer an effective and safe addition to all pain medication. Regardless of the strength and frequency of use of the medication.

The standard coaching program consists of an intake, three coaching sessions and a follow-up. The trajectory is fully aimed at making your pain medication more effective by means of. Contextual Healing. Intake. Prior to the intake, we ask you to complete a few short questionnaires. This way we get a good picture of your situation. During the intake we discuss your goals and we adapt the coaching process to your situation. Coaching sessions. During the three sessions we design a tailor-made pain medication ritual. In this we optimize all parts of the Contextual Healing component. By working on your emotions, thoughts, associations and habits, we aim for an optimal production of natural painkillers that will support your current medication. Between the coaching sessions you work individually on making your pain medication more effective by means of. psycho-education, brain training and challenges. Follow up. We plan a follow-up one month after the last coaching session. We'll see if your new ritual is paying off and if we can refine it where necessary. We are not (yet) explicitly going to reduce the pain medication. This is a sensitive step that we would like to develop further in a subsequent programme. If you still want to do this on your own initiative, consult your treating doctor for the possibilities. Feel free to contact your treating physician to discuss the possibilities.

The standard trajectory consists of an intake, 3 coaching sessions and a follow-up. Ideally, there should be about a week between each session and the follow-up is one month after the last session. This means that the entire process often takes a month or 2. If this does not match your wishes, we can of course deviate from this. For example, it is possible to combine sessions or to take more time between sessions. You can indicate your wishes in the intake.

We charge a fee of 50 euros including VAT per half-hour session. For 5 sessions (of which the intake is free) the total amount is 200 euros. If you want to deviate from the standard trajectory of 5 sessions, you can. This way you can purchase fewer or more sessions. Naturally, the total amount will also change. You can indicate your wishes in the intake.

Contextual Healing taps into the natural healing processes of our body. This means that we do not confront our body with unnatural and harmful substances. So there is no danger here. Furthermore, the coaching program is an addition to your pain medication, not a replacement. There is no danger as long as you continue to use your recommended dosage. The nocebo effect is something we take into account. This is the "ugly" brother of the placebo effect; where positive expectations can lead to positive outcomes, this can also be the case the other way around.

​​ If you are interested, you can sign up for an intake interview at the bottom of the "coaching" page. Your potential Pain-Changer coach will contact you to schedule the intake interview. In preparation for the intake interview, you will be asked to answer a number of short questions. This way we get a good picture of your situation. During the online intake interview you can discuss your situation, wishes and goals. The Pain-Changer coach outlines what the coaching process will look like in broad outline. After the intake interview, you will have some time to consider whether you want to start the process. If you agree, you will receive a payment request. The investment is 50 euros per session (200 euros in total). You can then register for the still open timeslots for the coaching sessions

No. Not yet. On the basis of the coaching process you will become familiar with upgrading your pain medication. We understand that due to a stronger effect of your current medication you may have a tendency to reduce the dose. However, structurally reducing the dosage is a challenge that we are still working on. We are currently developing an additional program for this, but unfortunately it is not yet finished. Until then, we ask that you contact your treating physician if you are considering lowering the dose of your pain medication. Do not do this on your own as this can be dangerous. Of course, your doctor may contact you to discuss the options.

Pain. We'll start with why you're here; your pain. So we kick off the program by bringing you up to date with the latest pain science. We're introducing the biopsychosocial approach to pain management, allowing us to work on pain in ways you've probably never tried before. Once you fully understand the pain and have experienced what you can do about it, it's time for the second module Pain medication. Like the entire program, this module also builds on the previous one. Now that you understand how Contextual Healing can relieve pain, it's time to apply this biopsychosocial approach to pain medication. For many, this module changes the perception of pain medication. You will learn and experience that we ourselves can increase the effectiveness of a painkiller. Once again you regain control. Pain medication. Finally, it's time to apply what you learned in the second module. This third part is intended to enhance the medicinal effects by enhancing your intake ritual. In this module we really put the theory into practice, we get to work. Hopefully you will experience results soon, so that you experience less pain with the same amount of pain medication. Product. Previously, we worked on activating the internal pharmacy by optimizing the admission ritual. In this last module we offer you the possibility to order a product that also activates the production of natural painkillers. One study showed that such a product was as potent as an extra shot of morphine on top of the drug. In the future, the product could also help to reduce pain medication, but this is something you should discuss with your treating doctor now, as there are risks involved.

The app will be available in the app store. We are currently also working on an Android version, but this will take a little longer.

This is the first app to combine a professional monitoring function with a Contextual Healing program to increase the effectiveness of pain medication. What also makes the app special compared to other parties is that we do not charge a fee for this.
