Patients report very low levels of physical activity and high levels of fatigue compared to those reported by well controls of the same age and gender, at the beginning of the trial. It cannot be discounted due to the obvious possibility for bias that the modest, small changes for the better were more than likely accounted for by the placebo effect – patients wishing to please their therapists. It would be odd if they were not so.
