First seen Feb 16, 2026 · Last updated Jun 05, 2026 · Updated 15 times
Summary
This study looks at how simply expecting pain—without actually feeling any—can change the way your brain talks to your muscles. Healthy adults will be told that a harmless cream might cause pain, even though it does nothing. Researchers will measure brain activity and stress responses to understand how fear of pain can affect movement, which may help prevent long-term pain problems.
