Evidence-Based Approaches to Complementary Medicine: Bridging the Gap

Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) has long been criticized for a lack of scientific rigor. This session aims to bridge the gap between skepticism and acceptance by shedding light on the strides made in evidence-based CAM. Researchers will showcase innovative methodologies used in CAM studies, including randomized controlled trials, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses. By presenting the latest findings, the session seeks to legitimize CAM in the eyes of the medical community and provide practitioners with a clearer understanding of which therapies hold true promise. This scientific foundation not only validates CAM but also guides patients and healthcare providers toward informed decisions about treatment options.
