Pain is one of the most prevalent conditions for which patients seek medical attention. Additionally, the number of patients who utilize complementary and alternative medicine as a treatment of pain either in lieu of, or concurrent with, standard conventional treatments continues to grow. While research into the mechanisms, side effect profiles, and efficacies of these alternative therapies has increased in recent years, much more remains unknown and untested. Herein, we review the literature on complementary and alternative medicine for pain, with particular emphasis on evidence-based assessments pertinent to the most common alternative therapies, including acupuncture, herbal therapy, massage therapy, hypnosis, tai chi, and biofeedback.
疼痛是患者寻求医疗关注最常见的病症之一。此外，越来越多的患者选择将补充和替代医学作为疼痛的治疗方法，无论是替代标准常规治疗，还是与标准常规治疗同时使用。虽然近年来对这些替代疗法的机制、副作用概况和疗效的研究有所增加，但仍有许多未知和未经测试的内容。在此，我们回顾了关于疼痛的补充和替代医学的文献，特别强调了与最常见的替代疗法相关的基于证据的评估，包括针灸、草药疗法、按摩疗法、催眠、太极和生物反馈。
