Free e-learning program for patients using pain medication

As a general practitioner, you likely spend a significant amount of your time supporting chronic pain patients who use pain medication. We are happy to take part of this support off your hands.

We are in the midst of an opioid crisis; a new approach is urgently needed.

Our e-learning program offers a new approach: we help your patients better utilize the placebo effect of pain medication, with the goal of reducing pain and safely tapering off medication use.

Why choose our approach?

Pain medication is often not a sustainable solution. Many chronic pain patients become dependent, while its effectiveness decreases and the risks increase. Our approach leverages the placebo effect and offers a scientifically proven, safe way to reduce medication use without losing effectiveness.

Contextual Healing

Research, such as the open-hidden experiment, shows that the placebo effect plays a significant role in pain relief. Studies from Stanford University reveal that there is still great potential to better harness this effect. We support patients in consciously enhancing this effect.

​

Our free e-learning consists of three modules:

1

Pain

Understanding the complex mechanisms of pain and experiencing how the brain can positively influence pain.

2

Medication

Understanding how pain medication works and how we can modify the intake ritual to better harness the placebo effect of pain medication.

3

Placebo

Free placebos worth €15 and a unique program that allows patients to use them immediately in addition to their pain medication.

Pharmacological conditioning as the final destination.

In the final phase, patients learn to use placebos as part of a tapering protocol. We provide only the knowledge and placebos; the tapering process is conducted entirely under your supervision as the treating physician.

What benefits does it offer your patients?

Comfortable entry 

We leverage the existing trust in pain medication to help patients gradually regain confidence in the pain-relieving capabilities of their own bodies.

Escape route.

We provide patients with the necessary knowledge and tools to manage their pain independently, separate from pain medication. This offers them a way out.

More control

Your patients gain more control over their health and pain experience, leading to greater relaxation, increased activity, and an improved quality of life.

Coaching option

If patients want more support, they can opt for additional coaching. In a 45-minute coaching session (€75), we help patients apply the knowledge they have gained directly to their daily lives.
