Utilization literature can be a valuable source of information for determining what CAM practices and products warrant further pediatric research. This article explores the 5 most studied pediatric specialty populations: oncology, asthma, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), gastrointestinal diseases (eg, inflammatory bowel disease and irritable bowel syndrome), and pediatric emergency care. The Table lists these studies, with references. View this table: Table. Articles on the 5 Most Studied Pediatric … |
