The drucebo effect, a lesser-known counterpart to the nocebo effect, arises from negative perceptions specifically related to medical interventions and healthcare settings. This phenomenon can significantly influence the management of lymphedema, a chronic and often debilitating condition characterized by fluid retention and tissue swelling. The drucebo effect not only exacerbates symptom perception but also negatively impacts adherence to therapy and overall patient prognosis. This report explores the mechanisms underlying the drucebo effect in lymphedema management, the role of healthcare provider communication, and strategies to mitigate its impact. Addressing the drucebo effect is critical to optimizing therapeutic outcomes and enhancing patient satisfaction.
