Findings, methods and sources

Healthcare artObservational / experimentalReported benefit

Finding. The institution reports patient-perceived benefits from its collection; the published 2014 study is also catalogued at PAH-024.

Limitation. These records overlap. Self-reported perceptions are valuable but do not demonstrate reduced clinical pain or effects of a particular work.
