Abstract
A marked reduction of distress scores following attendance at a clinic even before placebo was given has been reported by Goldstein (5) and Frank, et al. (3). Various therapeutic and diagnostic procedures are believed to have a placebo effect and lead to a further reduction of distress (11).Keywords
