  • Title: Complementary medicine in chronic pain treatment.
    Author: Simpson CA.
    Journal: Phys Med Rehabil Clin N Am; 2006 May; 17(2):451-72, viii. PubMed ID: 16616277.
    Abstract:
    This chapter looks at therapies that are considered "alternative" to conventional medical approaches. A definition of "complementary and alternative" medicine is considered in the context of the complex and clinically challenging field of pain medicine. A rationale for studying unorthodox treatments of chronic pain is presented. The challenges of an evidence-based approach to incorporating complementary therapies are explored, and a brief survey of several commonly available complementary medicine therapies is provided.
