The use of complementary therapies is exploding, increasing the
pressure to establish a rigorous science to support its practice.
Clinical Research in Complementary Therapies: Principles, Problems
and Solutions provides students with the tools they need to
research complementary and integrative medicine (CIM) and so fill
this gap. Essential for both undergraduate and postgraduate
students, this second edition is significantly updated and
enhanced. Part 1 deals with research strategies and methods,
explaining the major types of clinical research in CIM and how
these inter-relate. New chapters are included on whole systems
research, qualitative research and questionnaire development. Not
all therapies can be treated the same way nor channeled through the
signal process of randomized controlled trials. Therefore, detailed
description of mixed methods approaches including observational,
qualitative, cost-benefit and comparative effectiveness research
are described. Part 2 deals with specific complementary therapies
and how they are invested by experts in each field. The book
analyses the key questions asked and the controversies debated in
complementary medicine research and offers clear and innovative
guidance for answering these questions. FEATURES . Provides an
