Nocebo in cerebellar ataxia: A systematic review and meta-analysis of placebo-controlled clinical trials

Nocebo has been demonstrated to be associated with low treatment compliance in clinical trials, thus affecting treatment outcomes. This study sought to determine the prevalence of nocebo in cerebellar ataxia.
