The Arthritis Research Campaign has launched the first evidence-based report dedicated to the use of complementary medicines in arthritis using results from randomized controlled trials. Complementary medicines are widely used by people with arthritis as they seek to avoid taking potentially harmful drugs, preferring natural products.
The purpose of the report is to provide a resource for patients and health care professionals by giving a summary of the current evidence on whether individual commonly used complementary medicines may be of use in the treatment of some types of arthritis and musculoskeletal conditions. The report focuses on the two most common forms of arthritis, namely rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis as well as the chronic musculoskeletal pain disorder fibromyalgia.
