Abstract EN
The aim of this article is to provide a preliminary estimate of how much CAM is evidence-based.
For this purpose, I calculated the percentage of 685 treatment/condition pairings evaluated in the “Desktop Guide to Complementary and Alternative Medicine” which are supported by sound data.
The resulting figure was 7.4%.
For a range of reasons, it might be a gross over-estimate.
Further investigations into this subject are required to arrive at more representative figures.
