Abstract

Acupuncture Empathy Nocebo effect Physician-patient relations Placebo effect Qualitative study Randomized trial Self care
Non-specific effect of acupuncture constitutes part of the overall effect generated via clinical encounter beyond needle insertion and stimulation. It is unclear how responders and non-responders of acupuncture experience non-specific effects differently. We aimed to compare their experiences in a nested qualitative study embedded in an acupuncture randomized trial on functional dyspepsia.
