CAM Research for Chronic Pain
"We provide direct evidence that most primary care consulters with chronic musculoskeletal pain have used CAM in the previous year, usually in combination with conventional treatments. The high prevalence and wide range of users experiences of benefit and harm from CAM strengthen the argument for more research into this type of medicine to quantify benefit and assess safety. The observation that most users of conventional medicine also used CAM suggests a continuing need for more investigation of effective pain management in primary care."

CAM Research on Menopause
"Women feel they are not sufficiently informed to make safe decisions regarding CAM treatment options to alleviate menopausal symptoms. Family physicians are a trusted information source and have an important role in providing women with that information. Brochures containing evidence-based information and a list of newsletters or books that include personal accounts, available in physician's offices and during personal consultations at women's health centers, are offered as a possible solution. A website is another possibility for distributing this information."

CAM Research on Facial Pain
"This article discusses complementary and alternative medicine (CAM), reviews literature on the prevalence of use of CAM by the general adult population in the United States and by patients with persistent facial pain, and summarizes published, peer-reviewed reports of clinical trials assessing the effects of CAM therapies for persistent facial pain. Results indicate that many patients use CAM for musculoskeletal pain, including persistent facial pain. Preliminary work on selected complementary therapies such as biofeedback, relaxation, and acupuncture seems promising; however, there are more unanswered than answered questions about cost-effectiveness, efficacy and mechanisms of action of CAM for persistent facial pain." ---- Myers, C. D. (2007). "Complementary and alternative medicine for persistent facial pain." Dent Clin North Am 51(1): 263-74, ix.
