"Basically, this review is most consistent with none of them working for
chronic pain. However, NCCIH can’t admit that, which is why the NCCIH
has discussed how to do 'innovative clinical trials' by using 'pragmatic
clinical trials to address questions about the integration of
complementary health approaches into health care systems, or to study
the effectiveness of complementary or integrative approaches in
comparison to standard care.' Unfortunately, pragmatic trials are trials
that are done only after more rigorous trials actually show that an
intervention works, with the intent to see how it works in the 'real
world.' Doing pragmatic trials of treatments not yet shown to work is
putting the cart before the horse."
“Non-pharmacological treatments for pain” ≠ CAM, no matter how much NCCIH wishes it so
Human knowledge has progressed exponentially since the dawn of modern science. It is no longer reasonable to accept claims without sufficient objective evidence. The harm from religion, alternatives to medicine, conservatism, and all other false beliefs will be exposed on this blog by reporting the findings of science. This blog will also reinforce what should be the basics of education: History, Civics, Financial Literacy, Media Literacy, and Critical/Science Based Thinking.
