A trial design that generates only ''positive'' results.
In this article , we test the hypothesis that r and omized clinical trials of acupuncture for pain with certain design features ( A + B versus B ) are likely to generate false positive results . Based on electronic search es in six data bases , 13 studies were found that met our inclusion criteria . They all suggested that  acupuncture is effected ( one only showing a positive trend , all others had significant results ) . We conclude that the ' A + B versus B ' design is prone to false positive results and discuss the design features that might prevent or exacerbate this problem
