Summary:
This is a cross-sectional study that investigated whether adverse expectations (nocebo effects) related to electromagnetic fields (EMF) are the cause to the ailments of people claiming to have electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS). Forty EHS individuals were interviewed (11 men and 29 women) about their symptoms. The study found that most participants had the health symptoms for a period of time before they made the connection between their ill symptoms and EMF exposure (usually through the media). The author was of the opinion that nocebo effects may reinforce the attribution to EMF exposure however they may not always be the cause of EHS.
