Abstract:

Background. Patients with cancer pursue all possible opportunities of effective remedies. In Saudi Arabia, most patients have tried complementary medicine during their cancer treatment plan; however, some complementary medicines might pose a danger to health. In Arab countries, studies regarding the use of complementary medicines and the intentions behind using complementary medicines among cancer patients are inadequate and all but nonexistent. The aim of this review was to focus on demographic, prevalence, and reasons for complementary and alternative medicine use among patients with cancer.

Complementary and alternative medicine is criticized by some as lacking evidence to support the effectiveness of its methods and medicines. Such critics typically point to mixed results from using randomized controlled trials to test complementary and alternative medicine. Randomized controlled trials have been held to be the “gold standard” in pharmaceutical research, but a growing body of evidence in orthodox journals has identified their limitations. Here, 5 fundamental flaws in the randomized controlled trial–based model are discussed as well as the impact on its relevance for testing comp

Because dysfunction of the basal ganglia system for dopamine depletion occurs in the pathophysiology of PD, the key therapeutic strategy is the use of drugs that increase the amount of dopamine in the affected brain areas.
