Spiritual healing as a therapy for chronic pain: a randomized, clinical trial
Spiritual healing as a therapy for chronic pain: a randomized, clinical trial
Professor Ernst and his group have presented a well controlled and cleverly designed study on spiritual healing in chronic pain. While we would certainly agree that the study is valid, we do have some serious problems with the presentation of the data, the discussion of the findings and with some general aspects of the planning which in our eyes should be taken into account when interpreting the results.

Abstract
Professor Ernst and his group have presented a well controlled and cleverly designed study on spiritual healing in chronic pain. While we would certainly agree that the study is valid, we do have some serious problems with the presentation of the data, the discussion of the findings and with some general aspects of the planning which in our eyes should be taken into account when interpreting the results.
