Evidenzbasierte Regulationsmedizin – passt das zusammen?

Zusammenfassung

Alternative Therapiemethoden werden im Kontext der evidenzbasierten Veterinärmedizin (EBVM) immer wieder kontrovers diskutiert. Dieser Artikel beschreibt die Grundlagen und Ziele der EBVM und gibt einen Überblick über den derzeitigen wissenschaftlichen Stand der alternativen Therapiemethoden. Zusammenfassend ist festzustellen, dass bisher wenig hochwertige Daten zur Effektivität und zur Sicherheit der Alternativmedizin publiziert wurden. Mögliche Forschungsansätze, welche die Besonderheiten der Regulationsmedizin berücksichtigen, werden diskutiert.

Summary

Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is discussed controversially, especially in the context of evidence-based veterinary medicine (EBVM). This paper provides an overview of the principles and aims of EBVM and the currently available scientific data on CAM therapies. To sum up, short rigorous research data concerning the efficacy and safety of CAM is presented. Moreover, possible research strategies with regard to important aspects of CAM are discussed.
