Zusammenfassung

Eine komplette Darstellung aller komplementärmedizinischen Verfahren unter dem Gesichtspunkt „Schmerz“ würde den Umfang dieses Buches sprengen. Es darf aber keineswegs übersehen werden, dass insbesondere bei Patienten mit chronischen Schmerzen seit Jahrzehnten großes Interesse an einer alternativen oder ergänzenden Behandlung mit anderen, vermeintlich nebenwirkungsärmeren Heilmethoden besteht. Die Inanspruchnahme von komplementärmedizinischen „Therapeuten“ und entsprechende Selbstbehandlungen wird eher selten den behandelnden Ärzten mitgeteilt. Zunächst folgt ein kurzer Überblick über den komplexen Bereich der Komplementärmedizin einschließlich einem allgemeinen Überblick über den Stand der klinischen Evidenz von komplementärmedizinischen Methoden bei Schmerz. Anschließend werden – quasi beispielhaft – drei ausgesuchte und für die Schmerztherapie besonders relevante Methoden ausführlich und für die praktische Anwendung dargestellt: Phytotherapie, Akupunktur und Neuraltherapie.
