Combination Therapies and Personalized Medicine

Combination Therapies and Personalized Medicine

Combining two or more treatment methods increases the life span of cancer patients while reducing damage to vital organs or tissue from the overuse of a single treatment. Combination therapy also targets different cancer-inducing pathways, thus reducing the chances of developing resistance to treatment.
The combination of the drug acetazolamide and sulforaphane is a good example of combination therapy to treat cancer. The cells in the interior of a large tumor often die due to the hypoxic and...

Area of Science:

Neurology
Integrative Medicine

Background:

Neurologic conditions are prevalent, yet cures are rare and treatments limited.
Patients increasingly seek complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) options.
Growing evidence supports CAM for managing various health concerns.

Purpose of the Study:

To review evidence-based CAM therapies for neurologic conditions.
Focus on prevention and treatment of migraine, carpal tunnel syndrome, and dementia.
To assess the efficacy of selected CAM modalities.

Main Methods:

Literature review of evidence-based CAM therapies.
Focused on modalities including nutrition, exercise, mind-body medicine, supplements, and acupuncture.
Analysis of studies related to migraine, carpal tunnel syndrome, and dementia.

Main Results:

Evidence supports the use of specific CAM therapies for neurologic conditions.
Nutrition, exercise, mind-body medicine, supplements, and acupuncture show promise.
Growing body of research validates CAM's role in treatment and prevention.

Conclusions:

Selected evidence-based CAM therapies offer viable options for neurologic conditions.
CAM can complement conventional treatments for migraine, carpal tunnel syndrome, and dementia.
Further research continues to strengthen the evidence base for CAM in neurology.
