NOTE - A sampling from this database indicated a large number of irrelevant items and so the database was not included in the final search - RS

Search Strategy

Note: A dash after a term indicates that the term was truncated (e.g. “hypno-“ will search “hypnosis,” “hypnotic,” “hypnotherapy,” etc.)

The word “exploded” in parentheses after a term indicates that the term was searched hierarchically - i.e. all narrower terms in the subject hierarchy were included. This feature is active in the MEDLINE, HealthSTAR, and EMBASE databases.

Search Methodology for Mind-Body - Gastrointestinal Conditions

Search #1: (Dated 3/7/00)

NOTE: This search originally included MEDLINE, EMBASE, and the current file of SciSearch. However, it was decided to search those databases separately because it appeared that the terms “psychophysiology” and “placebo” produced too many false drops in those databases. Search #2 is the result of that decision. At a later time, it was decided to go back and run the term “psychophysiology” in these databases after all. That search methodology is shown in Search #3.
