Abstract

Background: A cross sectional study has done to know the rate and cause of using alternative & complementary medicine In Tehran hospitals.Methods and Materials: In the cancer, internal medicine and emergency wards of three hospitals of Tehran we search demographic information of patients. We used SPSS/windows version 10 for statistic analysis to find the relationship of variables with non-medical treatments.Results: we studied 591 patients suffering from cancer, chronic or acute disease. Mean & median age of patients was 49 year. About 57% were women and 43% men. About 50% had complete remission, 32% partial response and 18% no response to treatment. 27% didn't pass any educational courses, 32% had primary school and 41% had high school or university certification. The most common type of alternative medicine used by patients was HERBAL PRODUCTS. Patients used them for palliation of symptoms, 30% without notice to doctors. There was statistically significant relationship between alternative/ complementary therapies and more educational courses, longer duration of disease and lower response to medial treatment.Conclusions: We hadn't done the study in general population but patients in these 3 hospitals who almost all suffering from cancer or chronic disease, had strong desire to use non medical treatments, especially HERBAL PRODUCTS. Our medical society needs to know more about these therapies, with doing randomized clinical trial in comparison to placebo. Otherwise we wouldn't know the affectivity and side effects of these therapies.
