Research

Mayo Clinic healthcare providers conduct dozens of clinical studies every year to learn which integrative medicine approaches work. By identifying effective therapies and bringing them into clinical practice, our researchers help the clinic maintain its leadership position in providing excellent healthcare for the mind, body and spirit.

Areas of research include:

  • Studying integrative medicine treatment in relation to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
  • Advancing integrative medicine practices for cancer patients and their caregivers.
  • Evaluating the benefits of integrative medicine services for people in the hospital who are experiencing pain.
  • Using integrative medicine therapies to help people with headaches.
