Mind over needle: study tests if positive talk boosts pain shot results
NCT ID NCT07498140
First seen Mar 31, 2026 · Last updated May 19, 2026 · Updated 11 times
Summary
This study looks at whether the way doctors talk about a common back pain treatment—epidural steroid injections—changes how much pain relief patients feel. Researchers will compare a very positive description (like in regular practice) with a more neutral one, and also with medication alone. About 210 adults with leg pain from back problems will take part to see if expectations can boost the treatment's effects.
