Alternative therapies are widely used, although rigorous clinical
investigation or trials may not be available to support their claims.
Because of the complex structure of alternative health care, with many
different modalities operating simultaneously, randomized clinical
trials will be doubtful.
So the purpose of this section is to disseminate knowledge about ongoing clinical trials in alternative therapies, as well as solicit participation in future studies.
Typical studies include: acupuncture for chronic pain, acupuncture for fibromalgia, acupuncture for low back pain, glucosamine for arthritis, kava for anxiety, ayurveda for irritable bowel syndrome, and others.
If you are interested in participating, please contact info@alternativedr.com for further information. Please specify which alternative treatments you are currently using, and which herbs or supplements you are taking, and for what medical or physical or spiritual problem.
