Usage of Complementary and Alternative Medicine in Pediatric Sedation

Chapter
First Online:

Abstract

Complementary and alternative medicine includes those acceptable health care approaches outside of our conventional medicine. The National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine classified these therapies from a complete medical system of premise and practice; biological-based practices; mind-body medicine; manipulative and energy medicine.

Music therapy, hypnotherapy, guided imagery, and acupuncture-related techniques have been applied for pediatric sedation. These therapies can easily work in conjunction with available conventional medical treatments for pediatric sedation.
