Integrative pediatrics survey: Parents report high demand and willingness to self-pay for complementary and integrative medicine in German hospitals.

Background: In Germany, there is hardly any institutionalization of pediatric complementary and integrative medicine (CIM) present, which is one reason why the statutory health insurance companies usually do not cover the costs. Which in turn serves as an obstacle for integrating CIM into routine pediatric care. Within the present study, we assessed existing demand for CIM methods in parents of children in clinical primary care and whether the parents would be willing to cover the costs privately.

Yoga in women with abdominal obesity - Do lifestyle factors mediate the effect? Secondary analysis of a RCT.

Results: A weighted total of 81,671,436 participants (33.

Comprehensive Lifestyle-Modification in Patients with Ulcerative Colitis-A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Patients with ulcerative colitis suffer from impaired health-related quality of life (HrQoL). Comprehensive lifestyle-modification might increase HrQoL and decrease disease activity. Ninety-seven patients in clinical remission with impaired HrQoL were randomly assigned to a 10 week comprehensive lifestyle-modification program (LSM; = 47; 50.

Comparative efficacy of different exercise interventions in chronic non-specific low back pain: protocol of a systematic review and network meta-analysis.

Introduction: Chronic non-specific low back pain is a major public health problem. Evidence supports the effectiveness of exercise as an intervention. Due to a paucity of direct comparisons of different exercise categories, medical guidelines were unable to make specific recommendations regarding the type of exercise working best in improving chronic low back pain.

Assessment of Ileocolonic Inflammation in Crohn's Disease: Which Surrogate Marker Is Better-MaRIA, Clermont, or PET/MR Index? Initial Results of a Feasibility Trial.

Our objective was to define an F-FDG PET/MR enterography index as a hybrid surrogate marker for active ileocolonic inflammation in Crohn's disease (CD) and assess its diagnostic performance in comparison to validated MR indices (MR index of activity [MaRIA], Clermont score). Fifty-two CD patients with recurrent symptoms underwent ileocolonoscopy and F-FDG PET/MR enterography. Three hundred three ileocolonic segments were assessed for inflammation using MaRIA and the Clermont score as well as the newly defined PET/MR index.
