Complementary and alternative therapies (CAM) are methods for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of diseases based on various cultural beliefs and experiences that are not currently considered part of modern medicine. In recent years, the integration of CAM applications into healthcare systems all over the world has led to an increase in their use and frequency, and it has also increased the necessity and expectation of evidence-based practices. In this review, it was aimed to examine the alternative treatment methods that are frequently used in different conditions, their mechanisms of action, and their application within the framework of scientific evidence. For this purpose, popularly used complementary and alternative therapies for musculoskeletal conditions (dry needling, instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization, dry cupping), neurological conditions (acupuncture, reflexology), and other conditions such as cancer and metabolic diseases (yoga) were examined.

Objective: Prevention from injury is a very important factor affecting success in tennis and Kinesio Taping is a newly rising method for decreasing injury risk in athletes. This study was carried out to determine whether Kinesio Taping reduces the risk of injury to tennis players and, if it decreases, which Kinesio Tape material should be used. Material-Method: Thirty-three young tennis players were included in our study. Assessment were done bare (no tape), after 45 min of Performance Plus Kinesio Taping application and after 45 min of Gold Text Finger Print Kinesio Taping application. Thermal analysis was done for risk of injury including both lower extremities. Quadriceps muscle was chosen from upper leg and gastro soleus muscle was chosen from lower leg region for thermal analysis. Results: Statistically significant differences were found at lower leg and upper leg assessments for both dominant and non-dominat sides in skin temperatures between bare assessment (no tape), Performance Plus Kinesio Taping application and Gold Text Finger Print Kinesio Taping application (p0,05). Conclusion: The results show that Kinesio Taping may be an effective application for decreasing risk of injury but there is no difference between the types of Kinesio Taping material used, as long as it is applied with the same technique.

Objective: This study was planned to investigate the efficacy of treatment for Kinesio tape application in chronic neck pain individuals. Material-Method: A total of 44 individuals were randomly divided into two groups. Conventional physiotherapy methods were applied to all subjects for 15 sessions. In addition to the study group, Kinesio tape application was performed each session. Pain, pressure pain threshold, range of motion, muscle strength, muscle endurance, pectoralis minor muscle length, disability level, quality of life, and depressive symptoms were evaluated. The first evaluation was conducted prior to the Kinesio tape application, the second was conducted 24 hours after the procedure, and the third was after 15 sessions. Results: A significant improvement was obtained in depression scores, muscle endurance, and patient satisfaction in favor of the study group (respectively p = 0.021, p=0.029, p= 0.009). Conclusion: Kinesio tape can be used to increase muscle endurance in the short term. Also, it can be said that Kinesio tape application provides additional benefits to the conventional physiotherapy method in terms of treatment satisfaction.

Objective: Medicinal herbs have been used to treat hemorrhoidal diseases since old times. Given its anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory mechanisms, Capsella bursa-pastoris (Shepherd’s purse) may potentially lead to regression of the hemorrhoidal plexuses. In this context, the objective of this study is to investigate the effect of Shepherd’s purse on the severity and physical examination findings of hemorrhoidal disease in patients. Materials-Methods: The patients were randomized into two groups: the control group (conservative treatment only for three months), and the study group (conservative treatment and Shepherd’s purse for three months). Results: The study sample consisted of a total of 218 patients who were randomized into the study and control groups, with 109 patients in each group. The mean age of the patients in the patient and control groups were 35.5±11.7 and 39.5±14.6, respectively, referring to a significant difference between the groups (p=0.030). At the 3rd-month follow-up examination, it was determined that there were significantly fewer patients with bleeding and difficulty during defecation in the study group compared to the control group (p=0.001). Patients in the study group had significantly lower VAS scores for pain and the number of affected quadrants compared to the control group (p

Objective: To determine the complementary and alternative medicine practices used by infertile women and to evaluate their attitudes towards these practices. Material-Method: This descriptive study was carried out between February-May 2022 with 94 infertile women reached by snowball sampling on the online platform. In the collection of data, the “Questionnaire on Complementary and Alternative Medicine Methods” and the Complementary, Alternative and Conventional Medicine Attitude Scale has been used. Results: The mean age of the women participating in the study was 34.48±7.66 years. It was determined that the participants got an average of 109.69±18.81 points from the Complementary, Alternative and Conventional Medicine Attitude Scale. After the diagnosis of infertility, 60.4% of women used any complementary and alternative medicine methods, and among these methods, onion cure (30.2%) as a nutritional supplement, applying honey directly into the vagina (46.4%), going to spas (50.0%), and praying and worshiping (74.7%) were preferred. Conclusion: It was determined that majority of the infertile women use any complementary and alternative medicine method, and their attitudes towards traditional and complementary medicine are moderate level. It is recommended to carry out experimental and evidence-based studies with larger samples in order to determine the benefit/harm status of the applications.

Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) is a disruptive behavioral disorder in which a child displays a pattern of an angry mood, defiant or combative behavior, and vindictiveness toward people in authority. The child's behavior often disrupts their daily routine, including activities within the family and at school. An 18-year-old male reported in the Out Patient Department with symptoms of anger and vindictiveness. The consultant psychiatrist diagnosed it as a case of Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD). Disruptive Behaviour Disorder Rating Scale (DBDRS) – ODD items was used to assess the severity of the disease. Modified Naranjo Criteria was used to assess whether the changes were likely to be associated with the homoeopathic intervention. Overall improvement was noticed clinically. DBDRS score was 22 at the time of admission. Sepia 200 was selected as the individualized homeopathic medicine. His symptoms got improved and he was discharged. DBDRS score was reduced to 0 at the end of 16 months. Individualized homoeopathic treatment has shown a positive role for the management and treatment of disruptive behavioural disorder.

Objective: This study was carried out to examine the effects of education on “Non-Functional Practices and Prevention of Early Childhood Diarrhea” on non-functional practices of mothers for child care and maternal self-efficacy in preventing early childhood diarrhea. Material-Method: The research was carried out as a pretest-posttest quasi-experimental model with a control group. The sample of the study consisted of mothers who met the research criteria and had at least one child between the ages of 0-5 who applied to 5 Family Health Centers in the city center of Erzincan in Turkey between the dates of the research. The study was completed with a total of 128 mothers (64 control, 64 experimental groups). Results: It was found that mothers' mean scores from the maternal self-efficacy scale for preventing early childhood diarrhea after education were higher than their mean scores before education. After the training given, it was determined that there was a general decrease in the non-functional practices of mothers for child care. Conclusion: It was concluded that the education given reduced the non-functional practices for child care and increased maternal self-efficacy for prevent early childhood diarrhea.
