There is a significant use of complementary and alternative therapies throughout the world. Many of these therapies may offer benefits to people with neurological diseases. Some of these benefits are proven, some are not well studied, and some of these purported benefits have already been shown to be lacking. These complementary therapies may interact with conventional treatments, so it is critical for conventionally trained health-care providers to be knowledgeable about the complementary therapies their patients are using.
