| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The objective of this study was to summarize systematic reviews (SRs) of randomized controlled trials on various methods of treatment practiced in integrative medicine.
The study revealed that there have been 8 SRs on lifestyle-related diseases, and that product-based methods were more widely implemented than practice-based methods. Regarding the latter methods, Pilates exercise was popular in advanced nations and was effective for mitigating pain in patients with lumbago and improving their functions. However, no sufficient evidence for Pilates in lifestyle-related diseases was presented. In a SR used for premarket notification of the foods with function claims submitted to the agency in Japan, several reports included were questionable in terms of research quality. Based on these findings, we prepared methodologies for reporting randomized controlled trials of interventions other than drugs, and for performing a SR of the reports.
