Study Summary

It is our hypothesis that patient's expectations concerning treatment outcome will be influenced by their psychiatric symptoms, and that this expectancy will have a strong influence on the efficacy of acupuncture treatment to suppress experimentally induced pain. We will conduct a study, monitoring expectations but not manipulating them, in a cohort of patients with chronic low back pain.
