A Worldwide Scoping Review on the Use of Complementary, Alternative and Integrative Medicine in Children with Epilepsy

Abstract

David Kim

This worldwide scoping review aims to comprehensively explore the utilization of Complementary, Alternative and Integrative Medicine (CAIM) in children with epilepsy. Epilepsy, a neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizures, presents challenges in management and treatment. CAIM offers a diverse range of therapeutic options beyond conventional medicine, including herbal remedies, acupuncture, dietary interventions, and mind-body practices. Understanding the global landscape of CAIM use in pediatric epilepsy is crucial for healthcare providers, policymakers, and caregivers to make informed decisions about treatment strategies. Through a systematic review of literature, this paper synthesizes current evidence, identifies gaps in research, and discusses implications for clinical practice and future research directions.
