On The Relationship Between Pain Variability And Relief In Randomized Clinical Trials, Siddharth Tiwari '22
On The Relationship Between Pain Variability And Relief In Randomized Clinical Trials, Siddharth Tiwari '22
Student Publications & Research
Previous research suggests greater baseline variability is associated with greater pain relief in those who receive a placebo. However, studies that evidence this association do not control for confounding effects (natural history and regression-to-the-mean); for this reason, we analyzed data from two randomized clinical trials (Placebo I and Placebo II, N = 134) while adjusting for confounding effects via a no-treatment group. Results agree between the two placebo groups: both placebo groups showed a negligible correlation between baseline variability and adjusted response (r sp (CI 95% ) = 0.13 (−0.09, 0.37) and 0.01 (−0.15, 0.20) for Placebo I and II, …
