Use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is common in chronic diseases. To investigate its relevance in Alzheimer's disease (AD), we interviewed 38 patients and an attempt was made to determine the type of CAM used and reasons for using it.

This paper presents the novel domain of evidence-based research (EBR) in the treatment of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) from the perspective of traditional medicine and of complementary and alternative medicine. In earlier lectures we have described the process of evidence-based medicine as a methodological approach to clinical practice that is directed to aid clinical decision-making. Here, we present a practical example of this approach with respect to traditional pharmacological interventions and to complementary and alternative treatments for patients with AD.
