Alternative and complementary medicine in neurological disorders and neurological disability patients: prevalence, factors, opinions and reasons

CONCLUSION: One third of patients with neurological pathologies use CAM, the most popular type of CAM is biologic therapies. As in other pathologies, CAM use was associated with older age, history of depression, and chronic diseases. Therefore, it is suggested that physicians routinely ask patients about the use of CAM, if they need more information about CAM, and even verify the possibility of drug interactions or adverse effects.PMID:36646394 | DOI:10.1016/j.ctim.2023.102920
