“…Fink M et al Gibt es Evidenz in der Balneotherapie … Akt Rheumatol 2011; 36: 157 -164 die Kosten durch die gesetzliche Krankenversicherung oder staatliche Organisationen getragen werden -immer noch zum traditionellen Behandlungsprogramm [4] . Die Effi zienz der Balneotherapie wird heute aber kontrovers diskutiert, da gut geplante, prospektive kontrollierte Studien zur wissenschaftlichen Analyse ihrer Wirkmechanismen weitgehend fehlen [5] . Vor diesem Hintergrund stellt sich die Frage, ob die Evidenz der Balneotherapie zur Behandlung entz ü ndlich-rheumatischer Erkrankungen wissenschaftlich belegt ist.…”

“…On the other hand, Health Resort Medicine, Balneology, Medical Hydrology and Climatology are relevant parts of the health systems in many countries within and outside Europe (Germany, Austria, Poland, Hungary, France, Japan, and others), and health insurances refund health resort treatments, at least partly. Additionally, it should be noted that a great deal of scientific work on the physiological mechanisms of these therapies (Gutenbrunner et al 1999a(Gutenbrunner et al , b, 2001aFink et al 2001;Shehata et al 2006;Bender et al 2007;Braga et al 2008;Vaile et al 2008) and their clinical outcomes (Gutenbrunner et al 1997(Gutenbrunner et al , 2001bGundermann et al 1998;Gutenbrunner and Gundermann 1998;Fioravanti et al 2000;Franke et al 2000;van Tubergen et al 2001;Costantino and Lampa 2005;Costantino et al 2006;Cutovic et al 2006;Gusi et al 2006;Balint et al 2007;Bellometti et al 2007;Brockow et al 2007a;Eversden et al 2007;Evcik et al 2007;Fransen et al 2007;Franke et al 2007a; Karagülle et al 2007a;Lund et al 2008;Odabasi et al 2008;Silva et al 2008;Tomas-Carus et al 2008) has been published within the last decades (for an overview see Gutenbrunner and Hildebrandt 1998;Bender et al 2005;Gutenbrunner 2006); in particular, the number of randomised prospective controlled studies has grown recently (Forestier 2000;StraussBlasche et al 2000a;…”

Health Resort Medicine, Balneology, Medical Hydrology and Climatology are not fully recognised as independent medical specialties at a global international level. Analysing the reasons, we can identify both external (from outside the field) and internal (from inside the field) factors. External arguments include, e.g. the lack of scientific evidence, the fact that Balneotherapy and Climatotherapy is not used in all countries, and the fact that Health Resort Medicine, Balneology, Medical Hydrology and Climatology focus only on single methods and do not have a comprehensive concept. Implicit barriers are the lack of international accepted terms in the field, the restriction of being allowed to practice the activities only in specific settings, and the trend to use Balneotherapy mainly for wellness concepts. Especially the implicit barriers should be subject to intense discussions among scientists and specialists. This paper suggests one option to tackle the problem of implicit barriers by making a proposal for a structure and description of the medical field, and to provide some commonly acceptable descriptions of content and terminology. The medical area can be defined as "medicine in health resorts" (or "health resort medicine"). Health resort medicine includes "all medical activities originated and derived in health resorts based on scientific evidence aiming at health promotion, prevention, therapy and rehabilitation". Core elements of health resort interventions in health resorts are balneotherapy, hydrotherapy, and climatotherapy. Health resort medicine can be used for health promotion, prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation. The use of natural mineral waters, gases and peloids in many countries is called balneotherapy, but other (equivalent) terms exist. Substances used for balneotherapy are medical mineral waters, medical peloids, and natural gases (bathing, drinking, inhalation, etc.). The use of plain water (tap water) for therapy is called hydrotherapy, and the use of climatic factors for therapy is called climatotherapy. Reflecting the effects of health resort medicine, it is important to take other environmental factors into account. These can be classified within the framework of the ICF (International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health). Examples include receiving health care by specialised doctors, being well educated (ICF-domain: e355), having an environment supporting social contacts (family, peer groups) (cf. ICF-domains: d740, d760), facilities for recreation, cultural activities, leisure and sports (cf. ICF-domain: d920), access to a health-promoting atmosphere and an environment close to nature (cf. ICF-domain: e210). The scientific field dealing with health resort medicine is called health resort sciences. It includes the medical sciences, psychology, social sciences, technical sciences, chemistry, physics, geography, jurisprudence, etc. Finally, this paper proposes a systematic international discussion of descriptions in the field of Health Resort Medicine, Balneology, M...
