c Foster NE, Thomas E, Hill JC, et al. The relationship between patient and practitioner expectations and preferences, and clinical outcomes in a trial of exercise and acupuncture for knee osteoarthritis. Eur J Pain 2009 Epub Aug 6.

The study itself found that the effect of advice and exercise on knee pain and function in osteoarthritis was not further increased by the addition of either acupuncture or sham acupuncture. This analysis investigated the relationship between the clinical outcomes for patients and their preferences and expectations, as well as those of the therapist.
