Abstract

Introduction: Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) has recently become a focus of interest in curing patients. Although many studies have been published in the recent years arguing about the effectiveness of Complementary and Alternative Medicine, there are someevidences of side effects of using different methods of Complementary and Alternative Medicine. The aim of this paper was to investigate the effectiveness and side effects of CAM.Materials & methods: We searched the following electronic databases of January 2000 onward: PubMed, Sciencedirect and Springer. Our searching was limited to English language journals and human studies with the keywords: COMPLEMENTARY MEDICINE or alternative medicine.Findings: According to this study, we observed that the most commonly used complementary and alternative methods are herbal remedies and the majority of studies are about neurological and psychological diseases. Altogether, 91.6 percent of the published literature implies the effectiveness of using Complementary and Alternative Medicine and 44.8 percent of this literature implies the need for more studies to specify the mechanism of these remedies.Conclusion: With an ever-increasing number of consumers reportedly using nonconventional methods of disease management, medical students have now been recognized as key providers in education on complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). The evidence base for CAM is growing but in most areas, it is insufficient for making sound risk/benefit assessments. It is to suggest that further researches are needed to fill all these obvious gaps and necessary financial sources be prepared to accomplish the task.
