A new report suggests integrative medical care can improve outcomes for the treatment of chronic pain, depression, and stress. Moreover, the approach significantly enhances an individual’s activation or self-efficacy instilling knowledge and confidence that the person can positively self-manage their health over time. Integrative medicine combines mainstream medical therapies and complimentary or alternative therapies for which there is some high-quality scientific evidence of safety and effectiveness. Researchers from the Bravewell Collaborative evaluated data collected by the Patients Receiving Integrative Medicine Interventions Effectiveness Registry (PRIMIER), the first-ever patient registry on integrative medicine.“We are encouraged by these early results, and we see tremendous potential for PRIMIER to provide evidence-based research that will improve healthcare quality by pinpointing the most effective practices in integrative medicine,” said Donald I. Abrams, M.D., lead author and integrative oncologist at the Osher Center for Integrative Medicine at the University of California San Francisco. Using data from PRIMIER, researchers found that the use of integrative medicine yielded an increase in the Patient Activation Measure (PAM), which assesses to what degree patients believe they have the knowledge, skill, and confidence to take action to improve their health, and whether they are likely to maintain positive self-care actions over time. Over six months, the percentage of patients with low levels of patient activation decreased from 29 percent to 17 percent, while those with higher levels of activation increased from 71 percent to 83 percent. Previous research has found that higher scores on the PAM are strongly related to improvements in clinical outcomes such as less pain, an increase in utilization of prevention screenings, and a reduction in emergency room visits. After reviewing the prospective data from 369 patients over six months, researchers also found significant reductions in patients’ perception of depression and stress.
