摘要

PURPOSE: Many patients use complementary/alternative medicine (CAM) for their health problems especially where long-term treatment is required. Epilepsy is the most prevalent neurological disorder requiring long-term treatment and compliance. The purpose of the study was to establish the pattern of use of CAM in epileptic patients. METHODS: 1000 patients with seizure disorder visiting the Neurology outpatient department were interviewed regarding use of complementary/alternative medicine (CAM) in the past. The pattern of use, persons who recommended CAM and the reasons for trying these therapies and sequence of seeking them was noted in these patients. RESULTS: Overall 32% of patients had used CAM. Ayurvedic medicine was used most frequently, either alone (43%) or in combination (38%) with other CAM therapies followed by homeopathy (12.5%). Use of CAM was seen among all age groups and at all levels of education and was most frequent in the rural population (67%). Influence of family and friends (50%) was the most common reason for trying these therapies. Most patients (57%) sought CAM providers first before seeking the services of a medical doctor in our study. CONCLUSION: As more and more patients use CAM, physicians should ask their patients whether they use these therapies and should discuss these practices with their patients in order to safeguard their health.
