Research in Complementary Medicine

Research in complementary medicine involves scientifically studying alternative therapies—like acupuncture, herbal remedies, and meditation—to understand their safety and effectiveness. It aims to provide evidence on whether these treatments work, how they may help, and any potential risks. This research helps clinicians, patients, and policymakers make informed decisions about integrating these practices into healthcare. By applying rigorous scientific methods, it ensures that complementary therapies are evaluated objectively, fostering safe and effective options alongside conventional medicine.
