PainSci summary of Ernst 1998?This page is one of thousands in the PainScience.com bibliography.

Links to other papers and more general information are provided at the bottom of the page, as often as possible. ★★★☆☆?3-star ratings are for typical studies with no more (or less) than the usual common problems. Ratings are a highly subjective opinion, and subject to revision at any time. If you think this paper has been incorrectly rated, please let me know.
From the article: “An effective treatment has been sought for many years … to date, none of these approaches has been fully convincing.”
