“…However, this contrast with the study of Singh, Raidoo & Harries 7 among the Indians in South-Africa, whose study showed a very low prevalence CAM use rate (38.5%). Nonetheless, findings from this study is similar to that of Onyiapat et al, 17 and Mbada et al, 19 studies where they found a very high prevalence of CAM use; 84.7% and 96.8% respectively. Findings from this study revealed the use of CAM to be most common among people aged 30-34.…”

“…7,17,18 Similarly, the few studies that have been conducted in Nigeria were done in the South-west and South-East in Nigeria. 19 This phenomenon of CAM use among pregnant women is yet to be explored in detail among the people of the South-South. Therefore, it is expedient to examine this issue among pregnant women in Bayelsa and Rivers State which are in the South-South part of Nigeria.…”

“…7,8,11,12 Varying prevalence of CAM use in rheumatic patients is reported from different countries-United States two third of respondents, Australia 40%, Turkey 46% and India 58%. [13][14][15] In a study to define the relationship between medical skepticism and CAM use in two groups of individuals with musculoskeletal disorders; those being served by family practitioners and those served by specialists, 88% of the samples used some form of CAM for their pain related to musculoskeletal disorders.…”

“…Previous studies have revealed that the use of CAM is prevalent among patients with rheumatic diseases, with the frequency of CAM use being reported as between 22% to 96.8 % depending on the country. [6][7][8] Limited information about utilisation pattern of CAM in musculoskeletal disorders is available in India. Hence this study was planned with the aim of assessing the prevalence and pattern of the utilization of CAM in Out Patient Department of Orthopaedics at a tertiary care teaching hospital in Western part of India in Gujarat state.…”

Medicine (NCCAM) defines CAM as a group of diverse medical and health care systems, practices and products that are not presently, considered to be a part of conventional medicine. 1 Complementary medicine is used together with conventional medicine while Alternative medicine is used in place of conventional medicine. 1Studies have documented that about half the population of many industrialized countries use traditional, complementary and alternative medicine and the proportion is as high as 80% in many developing countries.2 It is being widely used in India and about 2860 hospitals provide CAM services. 3,4 Herbal medicines are increasingly becoming popular as alternative medicines and estimated one third adult population from developing countries and 80% from developed countries are using herbs as an alternative medicines often in combination with allopathic drugs which may lead to herb drug interaction by affecting pharmacokinetic and / or pharmacodynamic properties. 5Rheumatologic diseases are chronic and usually progressive conditions cause pain, physical disability and dependence on medications which do not always provide ABSTRACT Background: Complementary and alternative medicines (CAM) are consumed all over the world for variety of health problems. This study was aimed at assessing the prevalence and pattern of CAM in patients with orthopaedic disorders. Methods: This cross sectional study was carried out at outpatient department of Orthopaedics at a tertiary care teaching hospital. Data was collected with help of questionnaire which contained sociodemographic details and details of use of CAM if any by the attending patients. Data was analysed for sociodemographic and clinical characters, pattern of use of CAM, source of information and reasons for using CAM. Results: Out of 500 participants 196 (39.2 %) reported use of CAM. Mean age of participants was 42.6±19.8 (mean±SD) years and 130 (66.3%) users were women. Illiterate patients (57%) were the most frequent users of CAM. About 77% of patients aged 60 years and above used CAM. Fibromyalgia (48%) was the commonest condition for CAM use. Folk medicines (46%) and ayurvedic medicines (45%) were most commonly used CAM. Advice from friends/relatives was the commonest source of information. None of the respondents had knowledge of adverse effects of CAM used by them and about 70% did not inform their doctor about use of CAM. Conclusions: Use of CAM is highly prevalent in patients with orthopaedic disorders, women, illiterate and elderly being the more likely users. Concurrent use of folk remedies with allopathic medicines has potential for interactions between the two. History of use of CAM should be obtained as a routine from patients with musculoskeletal complaints.

“…The high prevalence of usage of this class of CAM is not surprising as earlier studies showed a high prevalence as well. In a study among peasant farmers in south western Nigeria, 80.1% (173) was found to have used massage as a therapy (Mbada et al, 2015). The reason for the relatively low odds of use manipulative and body-based therapy by pharmacists requires further research.…”

BACKGROUND: The use of complimentary and alternative medicines has risen globally. We therefore, explored the prevalence and predictors of use of complementary and alternative medicines among healthcare workers. METHODS: This was a cross-sectional study that was conducted between 1st June and 31st August 2018 on the use of complementary and alternative medicines among health workers in Federal Medical Center Makurdi and Benue State University Teaching Hospital, Makurdi in Benue State. Questionnaire was used to collect data from respondents and data analysed using logistic binary regression models. RESULT: Response rate for the study was 80.2% out of which females were 196 (58.2%) with 215 (65.7%) in the age bracket of 31 – 60 years. Married respondents were 244 (72.4%) while Medical Doctors followed by Nurses were 87 (25.8%) and 84 (24.9%) respectively. Majority of the respondents, 113 (33.8%) have a monthly salary of above N100,000 (277.8 USD @ exchange rate of N360) while health workers of Tiv ethnic extraction had the highest number of 202 (60.7%) followed by those of Idoma extraction, 95 (28.5%). Those with years of work experience between (0 -15) were 268 (87.9%). The most used CAM was spiritual therapy, 230 (68.2%) while whole-body therapy was the least with 84 (24.9%). Use of biological therapy and manipulative therapy were 182 (54%) and 207 (61.4%) respectively. The odds of a female health worker using spiritual therapy was more than twice that of their male counterpart, (AOR: 2.218, 95% CI: 1.391 – 3.538). The odds of a Community Health Extension Worker and a medical doctor using a biological therapy among the study population were four times and almost thrice respectively compared to a pharmacist (AOR: 4.117, 95% CI: 1.690 – 10.030) and (AOR: 2.541, 95% CI: 1.095 – 5.896). The odds of an Idoma health worker using a manipulative and body-based therapy was thrice that of a Tiv health worker (AOR: 3.00, 95% CI: 1.318 – 6.829). While the odds of a Tiv health worker using whole-body therapy was seven times that of Idoma (AOR: 7.420, 95% CI: 2.186 – 25.188. CONCLUSION: There was high prevalence of CAM use by health workers and this has potentials to influence integration of CAM with conventional medicines.
