整合医学

概述

补充和替代疗法（CAM）是不属于传统常规医学的卫生保健实践的通称。在许多情况下，随着安全性和有效性证据不断增加，这些疗法正与常规药物结合使用。

因此，“替代”一词已从该术语中删除。这些疗法现在被称为“补充医学与整合医学”、“整合医学与健康”或仅称为“整合医学”。

整合医学将经过充分研究的常规医学与循证辅助疗法结合起来，为每个患者提供适当的护理。

目的

整合医学可帮助有疲劳、焦虑和疼痛等症状的患者。它可以帮助患者应对诸如癌症、头痛和纤维肌痛等状况。常见疗法包括：

风险

整合医学提倡的治疗不能替代常规医疗。其应与标准医学治疗配合使用。

某些疗法和产品完全不予建议。或者不建议某些情况、某些人群采用。在研究值得考虑的疗法时，美国国家补充与整合健康中心网站是个不错的参考工具。在尝试新疗法之前，请务必与医务人员沟通。

如何进行准备

Learn all you can about any integrative practice that you want to try. Find studies that have information about how safe the practice is and how well it works. Use treatments for your condition only if they are safe.

Find out about possible side effects of any dietary supplement or herbal product you want to try. Make sure it won't get in the way of any medicines you take.

Talk with your healthcare professional about integrative practices you want to try. Your healthcare professional might be able to suggest practices for your condition and how to start the treatment.

可能出现的情况

What you can expect from any integrative medicine practice depends on the practice. For practices such as meditation or yoga, you need to learn how to do the practice. You can take a class, use an app or watch a video to learn.

For acupuncture or massage therapy, choose a skilled practitioner. Ask people you trust for suggestions.
