[Guest guest]

The need for research-based knowledge of complementary and

alternative medicine is gaining increased recognition. But what is an

adequate scientific approach to this field?

 

This conference focuses upon the special possibilities and problems

arising in research in complementary and alternative medicine (CAM).

Among the topics addressed by researchers from Denmark and abroad is

the concept of placebo – does it refer to an essential aspect of the

therapeutic process or, to a family of biases and errors to be

eliminated in well-designed research projects? Should the same

standards of clinical evidence be applied as elsewhere in health

related research? How is self-selection and self-care handled in the

context of research projects?

How is self-selection and self-care handled in the

context of research projects?

 

My understanding is that participants are randomnly put into different

treatment categories.

The practioneer would be cluless as to which group the participant is in.

The two paragraphs quoted are the introduction to the conference

material, which show its scope and purpose. Ted Kaptchuk and others

will discuss (and hopefully answer) those questions. Unfortunately,

it's in Denmark; but there may be some papers published.
