Interessant artikkel fra BioMed Central om forskningsmetoder for CAM (complementary and alternative medicine). Takk til Vinjar Fønnebø for tips.
Litt av abstractet:
We propose a five-phase strategy for assessing CAM built on the acknowledgement of the inherent, unique aspects of CAM treatments and their regulatory status in most Western countries. These phases comprise:
1. Context, paradigms, philosophical understanding and utilization
2. Safety status
3. Comparative effectiveness.
4. Component efficacy
5. Biological mechanisms.
