Kurzbeschreibung/Zielsetzung

This article reports on new findings on integrative and complementary medicine published in 2024. The implementation of guidelines for the management of pain in cancer patients is discussed. Then, a literature review is presented, that aims to clarify the role of complementary approaches in the management of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting and provides a concrete example of how recommendations are established. Finally, a meta-analysis focusing on the efficacy of Echinacea in the treatment of upper respiratory tract infections is summarized. These articles illustrate the complexity of the path from science to practice and underscore the importance of identifiable centers of reference to support the dissemination of knowledge to health care professionals and promote broad patient access to well-coordinated therapies.
