"Dokotela, umngani wami uthe waba ngcono zingakapheli isigamu sehora ngemuva kokuthatha iphilisi elinikezwe udokotela ngenxa yekhanda lakhe elibuhlungu. Kamuva, kwavela ukuthi kwakuyi-placebo nje equkethe ushukela nofulawa kuphela. Iphilisi likafulawa lingayelapha kanjani isifo? Ingabe kuyimilingo?" URuwan oneminyaka engu-30 ubudala wabuza uDkt. Priya ngokumangala emtholampilo wethu.
UDkt. Priya wamomotheka kancane wabe esechaza, "Ruwan, lokho kubizwa ngokuthi i-Placebo Effect. Lokhu akuwona umlingo. Inkolelo eqinile nokulindela ukuthi ukwelashwa okuthile noma umuthi kuzoletha ikhambi kudala izinguquko zamakhemikhali ebuchosheni bethu. Lokho kwelashwa kwenzeka ngoba ubuchopho bukhipha ngokwemvelo ama-hormone aqeda ubuhlungu njenge-endorphins."
Imicabango nezinkolelo zethu zingayiphulukisa kanjani imizimba yethu? Kulesi sihloko, sizoxoxa kafushane ngemfihlo yezokwelapha neyesayensi ngemuva komphumela we-Placebo kanye nocwaningo olumangalisayo olwenziwe ososayensi eMcGill University eCanada.
Iyini i-Placebo Effect?
Iqembu lososayensi eRaz Lab edumile eMcGill University eMontreal, eCanada, lenze ucwaningo olumangalisayo. Inhloso kwakuwukuhlola ikhono lomzimba lokuziphilisa ngokwawo ngokwelashwa okungewona okwemithi.
I-placebo iwukwelashwa okungafanele okuqukethe noma yisiphi isithako esisebenzayo sokwelapha, ngokuvamile iphilisi elenziwe ngoshukela noma ufulawa, umjovo osekelwe emanzini, noma idivayisi engafanele.
Umphumela we-placebo uba lapho isiguli sinikezwa umuthi okuthiwa umuthi wangempela, bese isiguli sikholelwe ukuthi umuthi wangempela bese siwuthatha, futhi izimpawu ziyathuthuka empeleni.
Kwenzeka kanjani lokhu? Umongo Wokuziphendukela Kwemvelo
Ososayensi basikisela ukuthi lokhu kungenzeka ukuthi kungenxa yokuziphendukela kwemvelo kwabantu. Ezikhathini zasendulo, lapho indoda igula, yayithola ukunakekelwa nokunakekelwa kwamanye amalungu.
Uma kutholwa lokhu kunakekelwa, uhlelo lokuzivikela lomzimba luyakhuthazwa futhi amathuba okuphulukiswa kwalesi sifo ayakhula. Ngakho-ke, ubuchopho bomuntu buklanyelwe ukusheshisa inqubo yemvelo yokuphulukiswa komzimba lapho buthola isignali yokuthi othile uyayelapha.
Umphumela wokwelashwa uyahlukahluka kuye ngesimo, umbala, kanye nendlela (Amandla Okuqonda)
Impumelelo yokwelashwa nge-placebo iyahlukahluka kuye ngokuthi ibamba kanjani izinzwa ezinhlanu zesiguli:
- Umbala wephilisi: Iphilisi le-placebo elinikezwa njengephilisi lokulala lisebenza kahle kakhulu uma liluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, kanti iphilisi le-placebo elinikezwa njengephilisi elivuselelayo lisebenza kahle kakhulu uma libomvu noma liphuzi.
- Usayizi kanye nesimo: Iphilisi mbumbulu elisesimweni se-capsule linamandla kakhulu kunephilisi elivamile.
- Indlela yokusetshenziswa: Umjovo we-placebo uzokwelapha lesi sifo ngokushesha kunamaphilisi amabili e-placebo.
🏥 Ucwaningo lwe-McGill Sham MRI: Ucwaningo oluqavile lwezingane olwenziwa ososayensi beMcGill
Ososayensi eNyuvesi yaseMcGill benze ucwaningo besebenzisa iqembu lezingane ezihlushwa yizimo ezifana ne-asthma, i-migraine, kanye ne-attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
Batshele izingane ezigulayo ukuthi zelashwa kusetshenziswa umshini we-MRI wesimanje (umshini we-Sham MRI) ongashintsha ukusebenza kobuchopho futhi welaphe lesi sifo. Kodwa lo mshini wawuyithuluzi lobuqili elalingenamsebenzi futhi likhipha imisindo ngaphakathi kuphela.
Izingane zafakwa kulo mshini futhi zanikezwa ukwelashwa kokuskena okungamanga amasonto ayisithupha. Ngokumangalisayo, ngemva kwamasonto ayisithupha, izimpawu zezingane ezingaphezu kuka-70% zase ziphelile. Izingane zazikholelwa ukuthi zelashwe ngomshini wangempela, kodwa empeleni zelashwe ngamandla ezingqondo zazo.
🚨 Ukulinganiselwa kanye namafulegi abomvu okwelashwa nge-placebo
Nakuba umphumela we-placebo unamandla kakhulu, ukusetshenziswa kwawo kudinga ukubhekwa eduze kwezokwelapha:
- Umdlavuza kanye nokutheleleka okukhulu: Ukwelashwa nge-placebo akukwazi ukusetshenziswa ezifweni ezidinga ukwelashwa ngokomzimba, njengomdlavuza, ukutheleleka ngamagciwane, noma isifo senhliziyo.
- Ubuhlungu kanye nezimpawu zengqondo: Ama-placebo angelapha kuphela izimpawu ezilawulwa yizimpawu zobuchopho, njengobuhlungu, ukukhathala, ukucindezeleka kanye nesicanucanu.
- Ukunganaki iseluleko sezokwelapha: Ukuthembela kuphela kuma-placebo noma kwezinye izindlela zokwelapha esikhundleni sokwelashwa kwangempela kungaba yingozi empilweni.
🛠️ Izinyathelo Zokwenza Ukuthuthukisa Amandla Engqondo Nokucabanga Kahle Kobuchopho
- Isinyathelo Sokuqala: Uma ugula, hlakulela umcabango omuhle onamandla, "Ngizolulama maduze," ngenkathi uthatha imithi oyinikezwe udokotela.
- Isinyathelo Sesibili: Themba udokotela olaphayo. Ubudlelwano obuhle phakathi kukadokotela nesiguli buyasiza ekuvuseleleni umphumela we-placebo.
- Isinyathelo Sesithathu: Zibandakanye emisebenzini efana nokuzindla, ukuzivocavoca okulula, noma i-yoga ukuze unciphise ukucindezeleka nokukhathazeka. Le misebenzi isiza ekukhiqizeni i-dopamine ye-hormone ejabulisayo emzimbeni.
- Isinyathelo Sesine: Thatha imithi yakho ngesikhathi esifanele nangesilinganiso esifanele. Ukuthatha imithi yakho njengomkhuba ojwayelekile kuqinisa ithemba lokululama ebuchosheni.
📊 Ukuhlukaniswa kwe-Placebo ne-Nocebo
| Ukwelashwa (Uhlobo) | Umphumela Emzimbeni | Isibonelo |
|---|---|---|
| Umphumela we-Placebo | Ukulindela okuhle kubangela ubuchopho ukuthi bukhiphe ama-endorphin futhi buzizwe kahle. | Ukuqeda ikhanda ngokuthatha amaphilisi kashukela. |
| Umphumela we-Nocebo | Ukulindela okubi noma ukwesaba okuholela emiphumeleni emibi. | Ukuhlanza ngemva kokuthatha iphilisi mbumbulu, ucabanga ukuthi kuzodala imiphumela emibi. |
| Ukuhlinzwa Kwama-Sham | Isiguli sihlanzwa i-anesthesia futhi kunqunywa isikhumba kuphela bese sithungwa. | Ukunciphisa ubuhlungu ngokwenza ukuhlinzwa okungemthetho ngesikhathi sokuhlinzwa kwe-arthritis edolweni. |
❓ Eminye imibuzo ongase ube nayo (Imibuzo Ebuzwa Njalo)
Ingabe ukuthatha iphilisi le-placebo kuyawenza ngempela umehluko emzimbeni wakho ?
Yebo. Umphumela we-placebo ubangela ubuchopho ukuthi bukhiphe amakhemikhali emvelo njenge-endorphins kanye ne-dopamine, futhi izinga lokushaya kwenhliziyo kanye nomfutho wegazi kubuyela esimweni esijwayelekile. Lokhu akuyona nje umcabango, kodwa ushintsho lwangempela lomzimba oluvela emzimbeni.
Iyini i-Nocebo Effect? ▼
Lokhu kuphambene nomphumela we-placebo. Uma isiguli singabaza ukwelashwa noma sesaba kakhulu imiphumela emibi, singase sibe nezimpawu ezimbi njengesicanucanu, isiyezi, noma ubuhlungu besisu ngisho noma siphuza iphilisi le-placebo elingenazo izithako ezisebenzayo.

Iziguli zihlukaniswe ngamaqembu amabili futhi iqembu elilodwa linikezwa umuthi wangempela kanti elinye linikezwa iphilisi le-placebo. Umuthi ubhekwa njengosebenza kahle kuphela uma iqembu elithatha umuthi wangempela lithuthuka kakhulu kuneqembu elithatha i-placebo.
Ingabe kulungile ukunikeza ama-placebo kuphela ezifweni zangempela ?
Emikhubeni ejwayelekile yezokwelapha, akukuhle ukunikeza iziguli ama-placebo ngokukhwabanisa. Kodwa-ke, kunezimo lapho odokotela ngezinye izikhathi benikeza iziguli izinto ezifana namaphilisi evithamini njenge-placebo, benolwazi noma bengalwazi, ukuze baphathe izimpawu ezingezimbi kakhulu noma ezibangelwa ukucindezeleka.
