Increasing positive expectations have been proposed as an intervention to improve treatment response, although evidence for this to date is limited. We investigated whether a brief 10\u2010min intervention directly targeting patient expectations prior to an iron infusion could enhance expectations and improve treatment response, in terms of patients' reported fatigue.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Design<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Randomized controlled trial.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Forty\u2010three patients diagnosed with iron deficiency anaemia were randomized to a brief expectation intervention or active control group prior to an intravenous iron infusion.
