Abstract:

 

Objective: Traditional and complementary medicine (TCM) is becoming more common worldwide. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the perspectives of physical medicine and rehabilitation (PMR) physicians in Turkey regarding TCM methods.
Methods: A 24-question survey form was prepared which PMR physicians were asked to fill out on a voluntary basis via the internet.
Results: A total of 150 physicians participated in the study of which 53.3% had TCM training.   We found that specialist physicians attended TCM courses significantly more than professors or associate professors.  The most preferred TCM courses were prolotherapy, ozone, and mesotherapy. A positive response to the inclusion of TCM in the PMR residency curriculum was supported by 90% of the participants.
Conclusion: Concerning the use of TCM methods, scientific basis and patient safety are important to physicians.
