The purpose of this review is to assess the evidence and role of complementary and alternative medicine in obstetrics and gynaecology. There is increasing patient interest and use of complementary and alternative medicine therapies and there is thus a need for health practitioners to be appropriately informed of different complementary therapies.
This article reviews the background to complementary and alternative medicine and the evidence although limited for its introduction into mainstream obstetrics and gynaecology; the difficulty in obtaining good evidence is also discussed.
The conclusions drawn are that we need to develop an integrated approach to healthcare and this is particularly relevant and important in obstetrics and gynaecology. With this integration, clinical research is essential and needs encouragement from all levels.
本综述旨在评估补充和替代医学在妇产科中的证据及作用。患者对补充和替代医学疗法的兴趣及使用日益增加，因此医疗从业者需要充分了解不同的补充疗法。
本文回顾了补充和替代医学的背景及相关证据，尽管其引入主流妇产科的证据有限；还讨论了获取充分证据的困难。
得出的结论是，我们需要制定一种综合的医疗保健方法，这在妇产科中尤为相关且重要。通过这种整合，临床研究至关重要，需要各级给予鼓励。
