“…Son zamanlarda TAT ile ilgili dernekler kurulmakta ve hastalar bu konularda yetkili/yetkisiz kişilerce bilgilendirilmeye çalışılmaktadır. Türk halkının, TAT yöntemlerini kullanma sıklığını, çeşitlerini, süresini, içeriklerini inceleyen geniş kapsamlı araştırmalara ihtiyaç vardır [12][13][14][15] . TAT yöntemlerinin hastalar tarafından kullanım oranı ülkeler arasında farklılıklar göstermektedir.…”

Background and Design:This study aimed to evaluate the knowledge of dermatologists on complementary and alternative medicine (CAM), common methods that are widely used in their daily practices and their general approach to CAM. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional and descriptive study was carried out between May 2012 and May 2013. A questionnaire comprising 14 questions was sent to dermatologists via electronic mail. The questionnaires which were returned completely and correctly were included in the study. Results: Two hundred questionnaires were taken into consideration. 25.5% of participants were working at universities, while 20% were working at training and research hospitals, 21% were working at public hospitals and the other 33% were working at private hospitals. 80.5% of participants defined the level of their knowledge about CAM as "little, a little and not at all", 16% -moderate, and the other 3.5% of them as "a lot, very much". The most frequently recommended methods among the dermatologist were topical herbal treatment (59.6%), oral herbal treatment (48.1%), herbal shampoo (46.2%), and dietary supplement and thermal spring (38.5%), respectively. Conclusion: Although many of our colleagues have lack of information about CAM, a considerable number of them could use CAM in their daily practices. A substantial proportion of dermatologists would like to be better informed about CAM. (Turkderm 2015; 49: 31-6)

ÖzetAlternatif tıp genellikle bağımsız ya da konvansiyonel tedavi yerine kullanılan yöntemleri ifade ederken, tamamlayıcı tıp ise temel olarak konvansiyonel tedaviye eşlik eden ya da onu tamamlayan yöntemler olarak tarif edilir. Kronik olup emosyonel olarak da hastayı oldukça yıpratan çok sayıda deri hastalığının konvansiyonel yöntemlerle tedavi edilememesi nedeniyle birçok hastanın bu yöntemler dışında tamamlayıcı ya da alternatif tedavileri denediği birçok dermatolog tarafından bilinmektedir. Bu derlemede ülkemizdeki tamamlayıcı ve alternatif tedaviler ile ilgili durum incelenmiş ve çözüm önerileri tartışılmıştır.

In recent years, people have begun to give further emphasis to the external beauty, especially for their hair. Except drugs with proven effectiveness, complementary and alternative treatment options that have not yet been clarified of their effectiveness and side effect profiles have been used for centuries. Many plants or their extracts are widely used to prevent hair loss and treat alopecia (e.g., androgenetic alopecia, alopecia areata, or traction alopecia) worldwide, especially in Far Eastern countries. The mechanisms of action of these plants are still unknown. Although there are little randomized-controlled studies investigating the effectiveness in the treatment of hair loss, reported results have demonstrated that complementary and alternative medicine will become much more popular in the near future.
