Medical Conditions and Preference of Traditional Chinese Medicine: Results from the China Healthcare Improvement Evaluation Survey

The prevalence, determinants, and mechanisms of traditional Chinese medicine service utilization among healthcare professionals: a study based on the Andersen Behavioral Model

“…This study found that the utilization rate of TCM services among healthcare professionals was 49.09%, which was less than half. This rate was lower than that of the general population ( 20 ), possibly because healthcare professionals rely more on evidence-based evidence when selecting medical services and require more comprehensive professional knowledge to accept TCM. Meanwhile, healthcare professionals often face heavy workloads, busy clinical schedules, and limited time for self-care ( 21 ), which may restrict their access to and use of TCM services.…”

Comparison of the effects of different physical stimulation therapies on reducing upper limb spastic paralysis and motor dysfunction in stroke survivors after stroke: a network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials

“…First, the generalizability of findings may be constrained by geographic bias, as over 85% of included trials were conducted in China. Regional variations in rehabilitation paradigms—such as the prevalent integration of acupuncture in Chinese practice ( 68 , 69 ) versus Western preferences for botulinum toxin or robotic-assisted training ( 70 )—may introduce cultural specificity. Future multinational studies are needed to validate the cross-cultural applicability of these interventions.…”

Evaluation of Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice of Iranian Medical Students Toward Complementary and Alternative Medicine: A Cross‐Sectional Survey

“…This is particularly important for medical students and healthcare professionals, who need to manage their patients' conditions effectively. cultural differences can influence the usage type of CAM, which often reflects regional, socioeconomic, and educational variations; for example, the high use of yoga in Indian medical students [ 51 ], TCM in Chinese medical students [ 52 ], and TPM in Iranian medical students [ 26 ].…”
