Complementary and alternative medicine is frequently used by inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients; most common are massage, acupuncture, and moxibustion therapy. Massage therapy is poorly studied in IBD patients; therefore, its benefits remain unknown. Acupuncture and moxibustion therapy have been shown to improve inflammation and symptoms in animal and human studies. However, current clinical trials of acupuncture and moxibustion are of insufficient quality to recommend them as alternative therapy. Nonetheless, because these therapies seem generally to be safe, they may have a role as complementary to conventional therapy.
补充和替代医学经常被炎症性肠病（IBD）患者使用；最常见的是按摩、针灸和艾灸疗法。按摩疗法在 IBD 患者中的研究甚少；因此，其益处尚不清楚。在动物和人类研究中，针灸和艾灸疗法已被证明可以改善炎症和症状。然而，目前针灸临床试验的质量不足以推荐它们作为替代疗法。尽管如此，由于这些疗法似乎通常是安全的，它们可能在补充常规治疗方面发挥作用。
