Abstract EN
Traditional medicine (TM) is being used more frequently all over the world.
However most often these are choices made by the patient.
Integrating TM into mainstream health care would require research to understand the efficacy, safety, and mechanism of action of TM systems.
This paper describes research done on TM and difficulties encountered in researching TM, especially when an attempt is made to conform to the model for conventional medicine.
The research articles were PubMed searched and categorized as experimental, quasiexperimental, reviews, descriptive, historical, interviews, case histories, and abstract not available.
The last part of the report provides suggestions to make research on TM more acceptable and useful, with the ultimate goal of integrating TM into mainstream healthcare with sufficient knowledge about the efficacy, safety, and mechanism of action of TM systems.
