Complementary Medicine Research is an international peer-reviewed journal. We aim to bridge the gap between conventional and complementary/alternative medicine (CAM) on a sound scientific basis, promoting their mutual integration. The journal publishes papers relevant to complementary patient-centered care, especially those with emphases on novel, creative and clinically relevant approaches. It covers the entire spectrum of original research, clinical trials, views, conceptual papers, and reviews on complementary practice and methods, as well as clinical case studies of high quality and relevance.
